(*) A.R. Penck was a painter, printmaker, and sculptor, born in 1939 in Dresden and died in 2017 in Zurich. He attempted to enroll at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts in 1956 but was rejected, particularly because of his communist convictions. In 1968, Ralf Winkler adopted the name A.R. Penck, a pseudonym inspired by the geologist Albrecht Penck. He identified with Rembrandt’s rebellious nature, as both were outsiders. A.R. Penck took risks by working in accordance with his Marxist ideals in the GDR. His works were censored, and he was stripped of his citizenship. His work recalls that of the great modern artists—Picasso, Kirchner, Klee, and Giacometti—but retains a wilder, rawer quality, approaching graffiti. His universe is populated by colorful figures and symbols, assembled in a wild fashion. He developed his own language to “represent beings in action.” He called this pictorial style Standart. As soon as he left East Germany in 1980, rejection gave way to success: he won the Rembrandt Prize in Basel in 1981 and the Aix-la-Chapelle Art Prize in 1985. He was the subject of a major retrospective at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and the Fondation Maeght.
