A.R. Penck - Profile

Like hardly any other German artist stands AR Penck for the renewal of painting in Germany. Already in the German Democratic Republic, Penck repeatedly addressed the relationship between the individual and society. After his expatriation in 1980, he creates with his unique style of abstracted figures and pictorial a universal vocabulary in which the memory of the beginning of the painting with the current time in modern history and science into a memorable image merges the world .. A reference point is the parallels between Penck characters and the world pictures of the Ice Age cave paintings. Penck justified his choice so that it is a certain analogy between "deposited information and geology" have seen. The archaeological recourse had his painting and fertilized significantly affected. Penck After the end of the 1950s, its own way beyond the realm of traditional art and Socialist Realism had sought, which was created after 1961 the so-called "world" that have already reduced the two-dimensional and anonymous "dash Men" show. There are set pieces of his interest in prehistoric painting, a combination of figuration and abstraction. (Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt)
