Seller's Description:
As New. Light beige paper over boards. color illus. dj.; 136 pp.; 30 bw, 63 color plates and figures. Published in conjunction with the exhibition of the same name, held at the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg in 2003 and 2004. Includes five essays, as well as an interview with Fischl. Also includes biographical and exhibition information. In the 1980s, American painter Eric Fischl mercilessly captured moments in the lives of the American middle classes. Among the painters of his generation, which most notably include David Salle and Julian Schnabel, Fischl is widely recognized as engaging particularly intensely with this typical national theme. As Fischl himself tells it, painting is a process that turns thoughts into feelings, and that uses form and color to create meaning: "...That is always what I am doing now when I paint: making meaning." Fischl's urge to go beyond formal painterly parameters and to allow subjectivity and content onto his canvases links him to younger painters like Luc Tuymans and Elizabeth Peyton, painters credited with a revival of the medium. In the 1990s, Fischl found new impulses and topics: foreign culture, religious rituals, age, and death now take center stage in his compositions. The motifs in his most recent series are based on digitally manipulated photographs of a sparsely furnished room. This catalogue presents an overview of Fischl's work, illustrating approximately 45 paintings and an equal number of drawings, all made between 1979 and 2001. Contents as follows: Portrait of the artist as a young man / Peter Schjeldahl--Touched: Eric Fischl, body, space and light / Annelie Lütgens--Plates--A dialogue with Eric Fischl: New York, May-June 2003 / Frederic Tuten--The tribunal of modernism vs. Eric Fischl / Jörg S. Garbrecht--Fragile overlays: thoughts on the technique of Eric Fischl's works on paper / Carolin Bohlmann--Narratives of the sacred: an American in Rome / Victoria von Flemming.
