AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A. R. Penck (1939–2017) was a significant German artist of post-war modernism and is considered one of the influential figures of the Neo-Expressionism movement. His work is characterized by a highly simplified, symbolic visual language composed of symbols, line figures, and archaic-looking forms.

In addition to painting and sculpture, printmaking, especially etching, played a central role in Penck's artistic work. Etching offered him the opportunity to precisely realize his immediate, spontaneous line work and his visual sign systems. By working with line, pressure, and repetition, Penck was able to develop and multiply his visual 'sign systems.' His etchings are not secondary works but independent pieces that impressively reflect his conceptual and formal engagement with communication, power structures, and human behavior.
