@fondationbeyeler #FeatureFriday with this photo by @giotto1965 showing the artwork "Away from the Window" (1982) by Georg Baselitz. The exhibition ends on April 29, don‘t miss it! "Away from the Window" was shown in 1982, with a number of other works by Baselitz, in the renowned Zeitgeist exhibition at the Martin-Gropius-Bau in Berlin. In this setting, a war-damaged building provisionally refurbished, Baselitz’s paintings were prominently hung, in a kind of frieze running along the ceiling. Presented this way, the square pictures appeared to echo Edvard Munch’s The Frieze of Life, which explores themes of love, life and death. This painting also establishes a connection with Munch through the motif of the figure at the window. In the emotionally charged pictorial space, the right side of the painting reveals the expressive potential of the human presence, as the artist inserts the screaming figure between the door and the window, against a background flurry of white. Baselitz here is alluding to several works by the Norwegian artist, including The Sleepwalker from 1923–24 and Self-Portrait by the Window from 1940. #FondationBeyeler #BaselitzBasel #GeorgBaselitz #Baselitz #etabetapr_arte #etabetapr #mtpisani_etabetapr @mtpisani_etabetapr (presso Fondation Beyeler)
