Hella Santarossa (1955) - I screamed my lungs out

Emotionally charged serigraph, titled Ich schrie mir die Lungen wund (I screamed my lungs out), was created in 1990 by the German painter and printmaker Hella Santarossa (*1935). Printed in intense, saturated colours on cardboard, the work explodes with expressiv. e forceits bold composition and gestural energy echoing the raw emotion of the title itself. Santarossa was associated with the Junge Wilde (Young Wild Ones), a Neo-Expressionist movement that emerged in Germany in the late 1970s and early 1980s as a reaction against minimalism and conceptual art. This movement embraced vibrant colour, spontaneous brushwork, and strong figurative elements. Alongside artists like Elvira Bach, Rainer Fetting, Helmut Middendorf, and Salomé, Santarossa developed a distinctive voice rooted in expressive freedom and visual impact. Her work combines the gestural power of abstract expressionism with a psychological depth that places her in dialogue with both German and international contemporaries, including Walter Stöhrer, Georg Baselitz, A.R. Penck, Markus Lüpertz, Jörg Immendorff, Joan Mitchell, Arnulf Rainer, and Jean-Paul Riopelle. This work that captures the spirit of the Junge Wilde and stands as a example to Santarossa’s fearless visual language. Condition: Very good – Fresh colours, no folds or tears, clean paper. Minimal folding around the edges. Due to size surprasing 100 cm in one lateral for packaging i will send it in a extra wide roller hard cardboard tube. It is not framed.
