Description from the seller
Artist: A. R. Penck (1939–2017)
Title: Jazz Musikanten
Year: 1989
Technique: Color screen print / silkscreen
Dimensions: approx. 100 × 70 cm
Signature: Hand-signed
Description:
With Jazz Musikanten, A. R. Penck links two central elements of his artistic work: the universal language of signs and the free expressive form of jazz. The highly simplified figures, symbols and rhythmic structures recall a visual improvisation and transmit the character of musical movement into a graphic composition.
Penck's distinctive visual language, with its archetypal-looking signs and symbolic figures, developed into a hallmark of postwar German art. In this work, the influence of jazz is especially tangible: spontaneity, rhythm and energy find their counterpart in the reduced, yet expressive, design.
A. R. Penck is among the most important representatives of the German avant-garde and the “New Wild Ones” (Neue Wilde). His works combine painting, graphics and sculpture with a unique symbolic language that has gained worldwide recognition. Jazz Musikanten is a characteristic example of his graphic oeuvre and an attractive piece for collectors of modern and contemporary art.
