German Post-War
Heinisch, Barbara
Reclining Figure. 1977. Tempera on canvas. 123 x 98.5 cm. Signed, dated and titled on the reverse. – Very slight stains. Overall in very good condition; the colours are fresh.
The interdisciplinary artist Barbara Heinisch invented process painting in 1976, a concept described in 2004 by the art historian Michael Klant as ‘painting as an event’. In these interactive painting processes, the body of an outsider is enveloped by the canvas and then painted. “My artistic concept for a holistic image of the human being is based on my critical reflections on the self-portrait and on academic nude painting from 1975/76. Even whilst I was a student, I came to realise that everything I saw of myself in the mirror was filtered through the judgement of other people.”
