From his earliest years as a child prodigy, Lucian Freud prided himself on his virtuoso drawing skills. The interplay in his work between paper (for both drawing and etching) and canvas was a defining feature of his creative habits throughout his career, as Freud's foremost scholar and curator, William Feaver, establishes with this masterful overview of Freud's drawing output. The fruit of Feaver's privileged access to Freud's studio, Lucian Freud Drawings includes more than 100 drawings, around half of which have never been exhibited or published, from the 1940s up to the artist's death in July 2011. Examined here are portraits of Freud's mother and father, his children and close friends-among them the painter Francis Bacon and artist Leigh Bowery-as well as landscapes and studies of animals. Spanning more than seven decades, this beautifully produced volume illuminates the very foundations of this master draftsman's oeuvre.Lucian Freud was born in Germany in 1922, and permanently...

Franz Marc Leben und Werk

"The Austrian writer Christoph Ransmayr has contributed an inspired literary investigation of the work and life of this artist living near the French village of Barjac. He takes us through La Ribaute, the artist's studio compound, past glass houses and leaden installations, through poppy fields and dense scrub, through underground passages and containers filled with pictures and sculptures. Meanwhile, the photographer Thomas Flechtner has captured fleeting visual impressions of this creative terrain. Markus Bruderlin, Mark Rosenthal and Katharina Schmidt, each with a deep knowledge of Anselm Kiefer's work, have provided illuminating introductions to the individual chapters that go to make up this detailed compendium which, focusing on four major areas of Anselm Kiefer's work, offers the reader an insight into the specific emblematics used by this artist as well as into the process of his pictorial production and the many-faceted nature of his artistic output."--Jacket

Anselm Kiefer, einer der bedeutendsten zeitgenössischen Künstler, thematisiert in seiner Kunst das Erinnern, Gedächtnis, Vergänglichkeit und Vergessen. Seine großformatigen, antiheroischen Bilder zeigen eine von der Vergangenheit geprägte, zerstörte Gegenwart. Kiefer setzt gegen die Leere Namen von Orten, Göttern und Personen in ungelenker Schrift, oft inspiriert von Gedichten, etwa von Ingeborg Bachmann oder Paul Celan. Werke wie „Horlogium“ und „Für Paul Celan“ reflektieren zentrale Themen wie den Holocaust und die Schrecken des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Kiefer verwendet in seinen Arbeiten organische Materialien wie Sand, Erde und Asche, um die Vergänglichkeit von Kunst und Leben darzustellen. Die Retrospektive umfasst 15 Werke, darunter vier neue Hauptwerke aus Kiefers jüngster Schaffensperiode. Agnes und Karlheinz Essl haben sich über viele Jahre intensiv mit Kiefers Werk auseinandergesetzt und zahlreiche bedeutende Werke erworben, die nun einer breiten Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht werden.
