Description
"
Polke's
work
frequently
juxtaposes
images
wrenched
from
different
periods
of
history
. At the
bottom
left
he
makes
use
of a
collage
by the
early
twentieth-century
Surrealist
Max
Ernst
,
whilst
the
central
image
derives
from a
satirical
etching
by the
Spanish
Romantic
artist
Goya.

[…]
the
postmodern
epithet
is
frequently
attached
to
Sigmar
Polke
,
previously
discussed
in
relation
to
German
'Captialist
Realism'
.
Looking
at This
Is
How
You
Sit
Correctly
(after
Goya)
of
1982
,
it
is
possible
to
see
how his
earlier
appropriations
of
mass-media
imagery
subsequently
became
intermingled
with
diverse
'high
cultural'
allusions
.
Against
a
background
featuring
a
collision
of
two
varieties
of
decorative
fabric
,
one
'abstract'
, the
other
sprinkled
with
saccharine
animal
motifs
(possibly
for a
child's
room)
,
Polke
has
overlaid
fragmentary
,
irresolute
linear
'quotations'.
