Description
"The
exposed
genitalia
in
Baselitz's
uncompromising
paintings
and
graphics
of this
period
are
essentially
attempts
to
bring
into the
open
, to
make
public
, the
effects
of
official
'cover-ups'
and
repressed
emotions
in
post-Holocaust
West
Germany
.
Three
years
earlier
Günter
Grass's
novel
The
Tin
Drum
had
exploited
images
of
retarded
childhood
to
allegorize
the
darker
aspects
of the
German
psyche.
"
(Caption
,
p.91)
; "In a
city
which
saw
the
creation
of the
Berlin
Wall
in
1961
,
artists
felt
alienated
and
deeply
mistrustful
of
political
ideologies
.
Georg
Baselitz
,
who
had
moved
from
East
to
West
Germany
in the
mid-1950s
,
exemplified
this in
grotesque
,
dismembered
images
of the
body
,
implicitly
repudiating
both
the
armored
body-type
of
official
Fascist
art
and the
heroic
worker-images
endorsed
under
the
'Socialist
Realism'
of
East
Germany
. The
provocative
obscenity
of
early
pictures
such
as
Die
Grosse
Nacht
im
Eimer
(The
Great
Piss-Up)
led
, in
1963
, to a
West
German
attorney
having
paintings
removed
from
Baselitz's
first
one-man
show.
