Overview
Ever since the 1960s, Georg Baselitz has specifically alluded to Edvard Munch in a number of his works; Munch is very much an artist who can be found in Baselitz's artistic universe. In interviews and statements, Baselitz has spoken about his great interest in Munch. Published in relation to MUNCH’s extensive retrospective exhibition of Georg Baselitz’s work, this lavishly illustrated volume offers a comprehensive look at the German expressionist’s extended dialog with art history and his pivotal role in shaping modern artistic discourse. From his early figurative works to his revolutionary inverted canvases, Baselitz has consistently pushed the boundaries of artistic expression. This book examines Baselitz’s navigation between figuration and abstraction, demonstrating how he breathed new life into painting during a period when many deemed the medium obsolete. With insightful essays by Jon-Ove Steihaug and Christian Weikop, and reflections by fellow artists on Baselitz’s lasting impact on the contemporary art scene.
