Description
German Post-War
Heinisch, Barbara
Three Figures. 1977. Tempera on canvas. 200 x 100 cm. Signed. – In very good overall condition; the colours are fresh.
This action painting with incisions forms part of Heinisch’s process-based works, in which the action artist combines naturalistic elements and figuration with a sketch-like painting style. The work is the result of a chronologically structured creative process, in which work with a human model forms the starting point. Once the painting process is complete, the canvas is cut into by the model in accordance with the artist’s instructions, and the model then emerges from the canvas through the opening. The life-size canvas, featuring the figurative depiction and the incision, is then stretched onto a wooden frame. The act of slashing reveals the critical and aggressive element in Barbara Heinisch’s works, in which a frenzy of liberation and destruction plays a decisive role.
Tempera on canvas. Signed. – Overall in very good condition, with fresh and vibrant colours. – This action painting with a cut forms part of Barbara Heinisch’s process-based works, in which the action artist combines naturalistic elements and figuration with a sketch-like painterly approach. The work is the result of a temporally structured creative process, beginning with direct work on a human model. Upon completion of the painting, the canvas is cut by the model according to the artist’s instructions, after which the model emerges through the opening in the picture plane. The life-size canvas, bearing both the figurative representation and the incision, is subsequently stretched onto a wooden frame. The act of slashing the canvas reveals the critical and aggressive dimension characteristic of Heinisch’s work, in which impulses of liberation and destruction play a significant role.
