BACK TO THE MODERN PINACOTHEQUE FOR MORE DISCOVERIES - CHAPTER 4
One more day and there was a must….go back to the Modern Pinacotheque to see the the few exhibitions I had missed out on and look a little more at the permanent collection.
After the marvelous experience with the Kirchner (which I went back to see too), the permanent collection was good but not exciting. Even the Picasso room seemed a little dull or was it that so much seemed to be lacking in color.
I have now come to the conclusion too that every time I see Georges Baselitz, (1938-1973) I will see him upside down. I have showed many pictures now from permanent collections where he seems to be obsessed with that view. I still like his work though.
The Dan Flavin( 1933-1996) was spectacular. When I see his neon installations like this, I tend to go along with them.
Just as I do with Sigmar Polke (1941-2010)……
This however was a oddity as from a little way off you were not sure what you were seeing. George Segal (1924-2000): Alice listening to her poetry 1970. A artist I know, but can give a miss. If you wanted to listen to her poetry it was somewhat difficult. The words were not clear and sounded to me like whispers in the dark.....
Norbert Prangenberg (1949-2012): This was entitled « His Gallery ». The only reason I stopped is that there was some relationship to the work my daughter does. This rough kind of finish with the ceramic work.
Perhaps the surrealists are not really to my liking although I enjoy Magritte in small doses. But Dali as you may remember only impressed me in his early work.
It was good to see Dix and Beckmann in another context
.
Kandinsky, Macke and Marc too
All this was very pleasant but nothing over exciting (although I love "recognizing" the artists I tend to follow) and then I fell upon David Shrigley (1968 - ). English, with the most wonderful sense of humor - for me anyway…….that will be the next chapter.
