Deutscherer
I see you have done quite a bit of a work. of course I am late, as usual, but not so late. I have had to work on a series of Drawings for an exhibition in Rimini, so that was for me the chance to go deeper in the materia than I could do before.
What is "german" in art...? I think there a a few important elements. I have tryed them out in a few sketches. "Walchensee an der Seine" - german Impressionism and french Impressionism - there could not be a difference bigger than that. ( http://www.loviscorinth.com/images/top10/421.jpg)
So this was the first Idea: expressionistic violence against sort of harmless aesthetic.
Or Caspar David Friedrich: very important, very very thoughtful and heavy
or the german minimalism:
So in fact, after some further reflection the "real german piece of art" must consist of (besides of some new smoke) expressionistic self-giving, a sort of rational constructivity (BAUHAUS), a romantic depth-symbolic attitude - sort of miracle, hidden secret (new smoke), and then: funily enough, sort of irony, humour, one shouldn't beleave it.
So ok, after all this I have done my homework and tried out:
lost in an urban dessert, (constructivity), the poor figure drawn by expressive strokes (expressionism), showing all the lonelyness of an urban beeing (depth-symbolic), but looking still a little bit silly (irony perhaps).
or a next step:
without comment but now THE german picture at it's best:
its violence, romantism, expressivity, irony, constructivity, miracle, just everything what is necessary for a good work of art...
look at the details:
So thats it. deutsch, deutscher, deutscherer...
and no Dürer at all.
The new theme will be: LOKAL. of course.

These last two drawings must be exhibited like this, as one work, that goes without saying.
Speechless i am at so much Germanisissimo, although, i feel, indeed containers full of irony and sarcasm. This must have a reason.
Trences of course, evasive actions, birds flying away making a lot of noise.
What is inside of these defenses???
It must be very valuable, let us search these premisses!
Indeed: lokal (of course included)
Do you mean 'trenches' (Einschnitt)?
I like the paraglider, he has obviously no idea, where he is coming from. and as german art is very deep, he also will fall deeper and deeper. and the people still acclaiming him, will soon realise, that he - in a sort of 'Faustsche manner' - will be gone away with the devil...
yes sorry, i meant trenches, indeed....and i thought of the trenches which the artist writing this blog !YOU! are digging :-)
