Description
Georg Baselitz: The Heroes reproduces the artist's monumental Heroes and New Types series in full-color. This collection offers close readings of the paintings, exploring their artistic style and historical context. The works reflect a deep ambivalence toward German culture during the postwar period. Military characters are portrayed as fundamentally contradictory figures, wounded and with their fatigues in tatters, their failures engraved on tormented faces. These images contrast sharply with the economic and political success of West Germany at the time. By reproducing the boldly outspoken series, Georg Baselitz: The Heroes collects the artist's earliest statements on growing up against the fractured landscape of postwar Germany. This theme has continued to be developed throughout the artist's remarkable body of work.
