Description
German Post-War
Fink, Tone
Figure of a priest (or a modern saint). Circa 1980. Pencil, coloured pencil and gouache on vellum. 22.5 x 14.5 cm. Signed and titled. Partially mounted on a backing board and set in a passe-partout. – Edges slightly wavy in places due to the technique; a very short and barely noticeable tear on the left. Overall in very good condition.
Private collection, Düsseldorf. - Tone Fink’s drawings arise spontaneously and directly, offering an insight into the artist’s personal cosmos, which inextricably links everyday life, absurdity and critical impulse. The highly fragmented figure on a plinth depicted in this drawing appears like a dismembered cult image; whilst the title subverts the sacred reference with subtle irony and points to Fink’s central concern, which lies in the playful expansion and subversion of traditional art forms and pictorial conventions.
