German Artist Jorg Immendorff at The Saatchi Gallery

Mon, 20 Feb 2012 06:44:07 -0500

Born in , Immendorff was of the generation that experienced post-war disillusionment that politicized every waking moment. As a student in the s, he faced the task of examining Germany's tragic history and its fraught relationship with modernity. This forced him to devise a balancing act between eras.Jrg Immendorff's large canvases are often fraught with the imagery of a literal theatre of decadence. His stage-set compositions allude to the illusionary aspects of art, presenting a script of personal mythology that is often poignant, humorous, scathing and prophetic.Myth-making is at the core of Jorg Immendorff's work. Political iconography, such as the German eagle, Soviet sickle and Socialist Worker's fist, mix quite literally with his ever expanding cast of characters, including both politicians and artist friends. At the heart is a rewriting of history - both political and artistic - where personal positioning and moral reconciliation are at the forefront.Jorg Immendorff'...

Columbia Records is trying a radical new experiment. The record giant and a principle perpetrator of musical nonsense on an overly obliging public has retained a canary, much as songbirds have been employed to detect, by passing out, the presence of poison gas. The job of the tuneful bird is to provide the executives in the A & R department with a reality check as to what a good song is. Here's the new protocol. First the staff listens to a new track. If they think it has potential, they play it for the tweety bird. If it starts to sing along, they can present the ditty to management for probable release. On the other hand, if the canary just stares in silence or falls off its perch, the track is to be cons...

Four paintings all , one on each of the gallery's four walls, depict views from a skylit interior courtyard of an imaginary house designed by the artist and resembling the Case Study houses built in Los Angeles in the s and 's. Representing views toward the north, south, east and west, the paintings were hung on walls corresponding to these directions. The gallery space doubled as the courtyard, and the perspectival vistas were consistent with one another, especially as the viewer stood in the center of the gallery, pivoting to face each painting.

About Eva Rothschild - A German Artist

Sat, 11 Feb 2012 04:33:20 -0500

The Irish artist Eva Rothschild b. , lives and works in London has attracted attention over the past few years with objects made out of such materials as leather, paper and Plexiglas, indicating a "renewed" preoccupation on the part of a young generation of artists with the three-dimensional object. Last year the Whitechapel Art Gallery launched what they called a new generation of British sculptors.Through the renegotiation and expansion of familiar artistic idioms and materials, these works re-accentuate the three-dimensional object by elaborating on the formal vocabulary of s art in particular, and "recharging" the third dimension with the transcultural, transmedial codes of contemporary content.Eva Rothschild explores the apprehensive relationship between objective form and new-age spiritualism. Rothschild approaches art as tantamount to a numinous belief system, where functionless objects become receptacles for immaterial sentiment, both inciting and emitting their own m...

About Artist Paula Rego History and his Art Work at the Saatchi-Gallery

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 05:43:21 -0500

Paula Rego paints a world of dark fairy tale where childhood stories are thin guises for psycho-sexual intrigue and taboo, where magical realism rules, where nothing is certain except the witchy powers of feminism, and the underlying notion that nothing is as it seems.Paula Rego recalls that after the Second World War, German refugees turned up in Estoril in Portugal looking for work. Olga was taken on by a Portugese family to teach her native language to their daughter. They suspected that she had something to hide, but her secret was safe with them.Drawing from her own childhood memories, Paula Rego's work illustrates corrupted folklore, where fairytale and horror converge to portray feminine experience. Recalling childhood visits to the movies with her father, Rego's Snow White series appropriates the Disney story with unnerving fictional and autobiographical twists. In Snow White Playing With Her Father's Trophies, Rego uses the allegory of female vanity to underlie a familial pol...
