Pablo Picasso X Thomas Scheibitz. Zeichen Bühne Lexikon (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

The catalogue shows that even though Picasso and Scheibitz aren't using the same motifs, they do share a very similar approach to art. Both artists understand their work as an open process that incessantly leads to new variations and developments building on previously found solutions. Nothing stays static. Both artists also adhere to the fundamental premises of painting and sculpture. The underlying differences in daily life that are also reflected in each work - of Paris as it used to be and Berlin today - could hardly be greater. All the more striking are the formal and content-related parallels as well as each artist's struggle for credibility or validity - in the context of a fragile, unstable world (which existed in Picasso's time as well).
