To the public, he is the painter of upside-down pictures. This extensively illustrated book which reproduces all the major works from Baselitzs distinguished career explores his development revealing an artist whose concerns are derived from his experiences of post-war German society. Essays deal with the philosophical preoccupations of the period and places the artist in the context of late twentiethcentury art. The book also examines why the artist paints upside down and the importance of this to our understanding of his art. Baselitz is an artist who has rarely commented about his work. This volume presents for the first time his thoughts about his art and the context within which it is made.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49668349034769,"sku":"GOR009948131","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1905711050.jpg?v=1751029124"},{"product_id":"world-changing-rage-news-of-the-antipodeans-book-georg-baselitz-9781803092263","title":"World-Changing Rage - News of the Antipodeans","description":"An exploration by an artist and writer duo of a fundamental constant in the history of humankind: rage, and its impact on the world.   Rage and obstinacy are close relatives—and fundamental categories in the work of both Georg Baselitz and Alexander Kluge. In World-Changing Rage, these two accomplished German creators explore links and fractures between two cultures through two media: ink and watercolor on paper, and the written word.     The long history of humankind is also a history of rage, fury, and wrath. In this book, Baselitz and Kluge explore the dynamism of rage and its potential to rapidly grow and erupt into blazing protests, revolution, and war. The authors also reflect the melancholy archetype of the Western hero (and his deconstruction) against the very different heroic ethos of the Japanese antipodes. More powerful than rage, they argue, is wit, as displayed in the work of Japanese master painter Katsushika Hokusai. In this volume, Baselitz repeatedly draws an image of Hokusai, depicting him with an outstretched finger, as if pointing towards Europe in a mixture of rage, wrath, irony, and laughter, all-too-fleetingly evident in his expression. A unique collaboration between two of the world’s leading intellectuals, World-Changing Rage will leave every reader with a deeper appreciation of the human condition.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49749498757393,"sku":"NGR9781803092263","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1803092262.jpg?v=1750865906"},{"product_id":"chiaroscuro-book-georg-baselitz-9781907533631","title":"Chiaroscuro","description":"During the sixteenth century a revolutionary printing process was developed in Northern Europe, allowing artists to produce colour effects never before seen in printed media. The chiaroscuro woodcut added tonal blocks to the black line block to create the interplay of light and dark chiaroscuro the word that came to define the technique. This beautiful volume brings together 120 masterpieces of the chiaroscuro woodcut technique, examining the fascinating history of the medium and showing its spread to Italy and the Netherlands, where artists produced even more painterly effects. Drawn from the collections of the painter Georg Baselitz and the Albertina Museum in Vienna, the book focuses especially on beautiful and rare prints, some of which are preserved only in a single copy, and includes masterpieces from Cranach, Burgkmair, Baldung Grien and Hans Wechtlin from the Durer circle of artists, Albrecht Altdorfer, the Sienese artist Beccafumi and the undisputed Italian master of the genre, Ugo da Carpi.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49773883523345,"sku":"CIN190753363XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50670477738257,"sku":"GOR011166161","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53648906453265,"sku":"CIN190753363XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/190753363X.jpg?v=1750997099"},{"product_id":"georg-baselitz-visit-from-hokusai-book-georg-baselitz-9781938748233","title":"Georg Baselitz - Visit from Hokusai","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49961134522641,"sku":"NGR9781938748233","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1938748239.jpg?v=1751029016"},{"product_id":"georg-baselitz-a-focus-on-the-1980s-book-baselitz-georg-9780995745667","title":"Georg Baselitz: A Focus on the 1980s","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Focus on the 1980s\u003c\/i\u003e chronicles a pivotal moment in the career of German neo-expressionist George Baselitz (born 1938), featuring a selection of seminal works from his 1980s series--including his \u003ci\u003eBeach Pictures\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOrange Eaters\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDrinkers\u003c\/i\u003e.

Realized between 2020 and 2021, the paintings are characterized by the artist's novel use of materials, including a new transfer method as well as the unprecedented integration of fabric into his works, both marking significant developments in Baselitz's technique. Building upon his legacy as an iconic and pioneering figure in early Neo-Expressionism, these new works create, both conceptually and materially, a distinctive universe where the logic of collage coalesces with painting. The inventive and materially rich works on canvas are accompanied by a group of ink drawings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51385244385553,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51385246351633,"sku":"NIN9782910055981","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/2910055981.jpg?v=1751382215"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-georg-baselitz.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
