Master of Overpainting - experience the fascinating oeuvre of Arnulf Rainer.
The art of Arnulf Rainer (1929) is baffling. The black overpainting*, with which he covers previous work, is world famous. We often overlook the fact that overpaintings in red, blue, green, and white also exist, showing that colour has always been an integral part of his means of expression, as this volume vividly demonstrates.
Characteristic of Rainer's work is not just the use of paint, but also the way he applies it. The energetic use of physical strength is evident in his hand and finger paintings from the 1970s and 1980s. Towards the end of this period, he transitioned to a more transparent painting method, using broad brushes to apply the paint like a veil.
This visually stunning publication presents works from widely differing series, including Blattmalerei, Engel, Geologica, Goya, Landschaften, Mikrokosmos, and Makrokosmos.
