Baselitz, un oeuvre coup de poing, à ne pas manquer au Centre Pompidou
- It is impossible to be indifferent to thevisual and emotional power of Georg Baselitz’s paintings and sculptures
- Born in 1938 near Dresden, as a teenager in the GDR, expelled from the Beaux-Arts for works inspired by Picasso, he moved to the West in the early 60s
- All of Basalitz’s work is marked by his experience of Nazi and Soviet totalitarianism
- Essentially figurative, his painting is angry and fights against the established order, against aesthetic diktats
- The reversal of the upside down pattern to which it led in 1969 is considered to be the hallmark of Baselitz
- He paints monstrous heads, severed bodies, busts upside down, he overturns landscapes and trees and we are caught up in the force that emanates from these paintings
- A major artist of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, unique in his kind
- A must see with teenagers
