SHARING WITH ME

I was off for opening time at the Modern Pinacothèque. The description that I had read on Internet was « 4 museums in 1 ». Modern, Graphics, Architecture and Design. I had a day to take all this in - if I needed to - but what was the most important was the Kirchner. This was titled  »Farbenmensch« Kirchner (Man of Colours)? Kirchner « I can’t work rationally. I’m too much a colour man (Farbenmensch) for that" Ernst Ludwig Kirchner From the description again, there were only 19 paintings which after yesterday would be easier to manage. If anything it would be describing his painting techniques and that was something I looked forward to discovering. The findings of the university research provide a new insight into the creative process behind Kirchner’s major works such as "Circus","Dance School" and "Self-Portrait as a Sick Man". He painted recto-verso. Blue Trapeze artists 1914 Girl Tennis players - verso of Blue Trapeze

So with a stomach which was replete for a little while, I climbed up the stairs again to wander through the permanent collection. Wilhelm Von Kobell (1766-1855) On Gaisalm 1828 I looked at the list of artists and knew at once, that quite a few would be missed. Joseph Beuys for one - I would just stroll through the galleries starting with the 19th century but not stopping unless a picture stopped me….. I started walking faster. These are not my periods - in art. 19th century or even go back a century. It starts for me at the beginning of the 20th. I jumped to after 1945….even then, looking for something new was not easy…… Hans Hofmann (1880-1966) The Cnnjurer 1959 William N. Copmey Winterset 1965 Hans Hofmann - Astral Nebula Sol Lewitt 1928-2007 (USA) Wall Drawing 2003 - I wondered if it was S.L. who painted directly on the walls? William Copley (1919-1996-USA) The Man must have the woman and we're all brutes more or less: 1967 but untitled - anot
