Item: Grüner Baum

Georg Baselitz

1986

Painting, 250 x 301 x 4.5 cm.
Materials: oil, canvas

Collection: Collectie Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven.

Grüner Baum was painted upside-down, like many of Georg Baselitz’s work. Baselitz first employed this method in 1967, it allows him to remain distant from what he is painting and instead focus on how he is painting.

By reconnecting with Expressionism, an art style that pre-dates World War II, Baselitz and other artists try to overcome the legacy of the Nazis.

The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation.
