Peter Geimer und Isabelle Graw. Über Malerei: Eine Diskussion - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Since the 1960s at the latest, painting has left its ancestral place on the canvas and od up to a use of ready-made objects, writing or performative elements. Despite its dedifferentiation, it is still one of the "success media". Isabelle Graw attributes this persistence to the special ability of painterly signs to suggest the presence of an (absent) artist subject. She understands painting as a specific form of "sign making", which takes into account its despecification and its specificity. Another central topos of painting, according to Peter Geimer, is her reflexivity: the idea that paintings can reflect themselves is now especially brought to grips with historiographically ambitious painters such as Luc Tuymans, who take up and depict contemporary history. Does the topos of a "reflexive painting" have to be placed here as an empty stereotype ad acta or does it live in a claim to action power that must not be revealed?
