| book description |

In 1965/66 Georg Baselitz created the monumental series â€œThe Heroesâ€ and â€œNew Typesâ€, which he presented in wild colour and with defiant style. By turning his attention towards the tradition of representational painting his work formed a striking contrast to the trends towards abstraction and Expressionism prevailing during the 1960s, thereby embarking on his own unique path. In his sceptical basic attitude towards post-war Germany Baselitz (* 1938) emphasised in his works the ambivalent aspects of the present in which he lived. His â€œHeroesâ€ appear correspondingly contradictory with their military fatigues in tatters, their failure as deeply engraved as their resignation. The contrast to the success story of Western Germanyâ€™s economic miracle could hardly be more sharply defined, but there is more at stake: with this group of works the artist reflected his own position in relation to society. It was the artistâ€™s self-assertion and determination of identity that were at stake and that Baselitz formulated so forcefully.
