Siegfried Anzinger: Linz Catalogue

Cowboys and Indians? German artist Siegfried Anzinger appropriates unexpectedcultural references ranging from the Bible to pornography to the American Westfor the brilliant works in this dynamic, large-format exhibition catalog. Anzingerhas broken with his trademark impasto application of paint and his past approachto figurative representation, and the effect is quite literally like a brilliant lightsuddenly shining brightly. These loose, almost improvisational pieces create apainterly panorama that recalls epic works by David, Delacroix or Gerricault:dramatic, wide-ranging, and very personal. Includes photos of the artist'sexpressive, almost disturbing, ceramic sculptures.
