Bezeichnung: Signiert, datiert und bezeichnet. Exemplar: ae/ed 5/6 Ulrike Rosenbach zählt zu den Pionierinnen der deutschen Video- und Performancekunst. Seit den späten 1960er und den frühen 1970er Jahren drückt sie ihre überwiegend feministischen Themen in diesen neuen Medien sowie in Fotografien aus. Diese noch jungen Ausdrucksmittel erscheinen Künstlerinnen als geeignet für Ihren Kampf gegen auferlegte Geschlechterrollen, da sie noch nicht jahrhundertelang kunsthistorisch als rein männlich geprägt "vorbelastet" sind, wie bspw. die Malerei. Rosenbach leistet in Ihrem Oeuvre einen wichtigen Beitrag zum feministischen kunsthistorischen Diskurs. In der hier vorgestellten Arbeit "Art is a criminal action (Elvis III)" bezieht sich die Künstlerin auf eine Ikone der Kunstgeschichte und gleichsam der Populärkultur: auf das Werk "Double Elvis" von Andy Warhol. Rosenbach zeigt in Ihrer Fotografie Elvis Presley analog zum Vorbild. Er wird hier jedoch nur einfach dargestellt, denn verdoppeltet wird sein weibliches Pendant. Ulrike Rosenbach montiert sich selbst rechts und links an die Flanken des Sängers mit gleichem Outfit, gleicher Haltung und ebenfalls mit Pistole. Blick und Pistole zeigen dabei auf den Betrachter. Während Warhol in seinem Werk somit dem voyeuristischen Blick des Betrachters standhält, gelingt dies Ulrike Rosenbach durch die Aneignung des Motivs in zweifacher Form: Nicht nur dem Betrachter per se bietet sie Paroli, sondern auch dem männlichen Blick auf den weiblichen Körper, welcher den Mann zum handelnden Subjekt und die Frau zum passiven Objekt macht, das betrachtet und begehrt wird. Selbstbewusst als agierendes Subjekt wirft sie diesen Blick zurück. Darüber hinaus thematisiert sie nicht nur die Rolle der Frau, sondern auch die der Künstlerinnen. Rosenbach reiht sich so gekonnt in eine männliche Kunstgeschichte ein und ebnet den Weg, diese auch für Künstlerinnen zu öffnen. Vor allem verwirklicht sie dies mit "Art is a criminal action (Elvis III)" auf eine höchst ästhetische sowie locker-ironische Art.

S. 37 "Vielleicht ist meine Kunst die Kunst eines Wahnsinnigen, ein funkelndes Quecksilber, eine blaue Seele, die über meine Bilder hereinbricht." (Chagall, in: Mein Leben, 1931) Fantastische Szenerien, bunte Kleckse und dicke geschwungene Striche - Marc Chagall findet schon früh zu seiner einzigartigen poetischen Bildsprache. Mit traumhaften und symbolischen Motiven, die von seiner jüdisch-religiösen Kindheit und der russischen Volkskunst geprägt sind, schildert er seine verklärten Erinnerungen, seine Sehnsucht wie auch seinen Seelenzustand. Dabei folgt er in den irrationalen und bizarren Darstellungen keineswegs der klassischen Weltsicht. Vielmehr richtet er sich nach der Logik des (russischen) Märchens. So lässt er wie von Zauberer Hand Menschen, Tiere, Fantasiewesen und Gegenstände durch den Bildraum schweben, in dem es kein oben und unten, kein rechts und links, kein hinten und vorn gibt. In diese Fabelwelt bringt sich Chagall auch immer wieder selbst mit ein. So stellt er sich in dem hier vorgestellten Selbstbildnis doppelköpfig dar, halb Mensch und halb Tier. Selbstbewusst zeigt er sich mit seinen Malerinsignien Palette und Pinsel und weist zugleich mit dem Ziegenkopf auf das nostalgische Zurückdenken an seine Jugend. Das Motiv des Doppelkopfes greift Chagall oft auf, denn mit ihm beschreibt er seine Eigenart gleichzeitig nach hinten, in die Vergangenheit, zu schauen und zugleich seinen Blick nach vorne, in die Gegenwart, zu richten. Dabei spielen Tiere wie Kühe, Hähne und besonders Ziegen eine wichtige Rolle, die ihm Symbole für seine Jugend und sein Leben in der Kleinstadt Witebek im heutigen Weißrussland sind. Zudem dienen sie ihm als Selbstreferenz, weshalb er sich in den Selbstbildnissen häufig als Tier wiedergibt. Im hohen Alter von 90 Jahren malt Chagall den "Peintre au double profil". Er kann nun auf eine lange erfolgreiche internationale Karriere blicken, die 1973 in der Eröffnung des Musée national de la message biblique Marc Chagall in Nizza und 1977 mit der Verleihung des Großkreuzes der Ehrenlegion Bestätigung findet. So schaut der Maler in sich gereift nun mit Zuversicht in die Zukunft. Dabei greift er in seinem späten Schaffen auf seine künstlerischen Anfänge zurück und widmet sich bestimmt dem Thema "der Künstler bei der Arbeit". Auf die Frage, warum in seinen Bildern der Maler immer jung dargestellt ist, antwortet Chagall: "Wenn es nicht so wäre, wäre es sinnlos zu arbeiten." (Chagall, zit. nach: Ausst.-Kat.

Sockel/Rahmen: Modellrahmen. Provenienz: - Nachlass des Künstlers - Sammlung Walter und Erika de Vries, Büchel (handschriftlicher Vermerk auf Keilrahmen) - Privatsammlung Hessen Literatur: - Nellmann, Katja (Hrsg.): F. M. Jansen (1885-1958) - Die Gemälde, Band 2, S. 298, WVZ.-Nr. 173, Abb. Der rheinländische Maler und Grafiker Franz M. Jansen gilt als ein wichtiger Vertreter des Rheinischen Expressionismus. Er wird als erstes von neun Kindern in Köln geboren und auf den Namen Franz Lambert getauft. Schon früh hegte Jansen den Wunsch Maler zu werden. Jedoch gab er zunächst dem Wunsch seines Vaters nach und absolvierte von 1903 - 1905 eine Ausbildung im Maurerhandwerk, um im Anschluss ein Architekturstudium zu beginnen. Schon während des Studiums in Karlsruhe und Wien beginnt Jansen an seiner Zukunft als Architekt zu zweifeln. Er sieht sich als Künstler und als Autodidakt beginnt er ab 1909 ausschließlich künstlerisch zu arbeiten. 1911 tritt Jansen der "Kölner Sezession" bei. Gerade die übersättigte Atmosphäre der Vorkriegszeit erzeugte bei den jungen Künstlern eine Suche nach neuen Ausdrucksformen, die ihren Niederschlag in den expressionistischen Bestrebungen fand. 1912 war Jansen mit einem Bild in der legendären Kölner Sonderbund-Ausstellung vertreten, in der neben den rheinischen Expressionisten auch die internationale künstlerische Avantgarde der Moderne darunter Matisse, Gauguin und Van Gogh vertreten waren. 1913 nimmt er auf Einladung von August Macke an der Ausstellung "Rheinische Expressionisten" im Kunstsalon Friedrich Cohen in Bonn teil. Als Autodidakt nimmt der Künstler diverse stilistische Anregungen auf, um so zu seinem eigenen Stil zu finden. Sein Frühwerk zeigt sich beeinflusst vom Wiener Jugendstil. Später beeindruckten ihn die Kunst van Goghs und die der Fauvisten sehr. Dabei ist Jansens Malerei weniger Expressionismus als expressiver Realismus. Auch den Weg in die Abstraktion geht er nicht mit, sondern bleibt stets der sichtbaren Wirklichkeit verpflichtet. Nach den Schrecken des Ersten Weltkrieges nimmt Jansens Kunst eine gesellschaftskritische Haltung ein, ohne die Darstellung einer harmonischen Natur aufzugeben. Neben seinem malerischen Oeuvre hat Jansen ein noch umfangreicheres grafisches Werk geschaffen. In seinen Holz- und Linolschnitten sowie Radierungen vermag er seine künstlerischen Ideen besonders klar zu formulieren. Erst in den 1920er Jahren wendet sich Franz M. Jansen wieder verstärkt der Malerei zu. Damit stellt sich für ihn auch ein kommerzieller Erfolg ein. Bekannt wird er für seine großformatigen Landschaftsgemälde, insbesondere seine rheinischen Motive. Das hier vorstellte Werk offenbart sehr deutlich eine Hinwendung zur "Neuen Sachlichkeit". Es zeigt ein Porträt von Jansens Ehefrau Mathilde "Fifi" Kreutzer (1891-1977) - selbst eine talentierte Malerin, die jedoch stets ihren eigenen Erfolg hinter dem ihres Mannes unterordnete. Bereits 1908 lernen Kreutzer und Jansen sich kennen und lieben. 1917 heiraten sie entgegen dem Willen ihrer Eltern. Als Zeichen seiner Liebe und tiefen Verbundenheit ändert Franz Lambert Jansen seinen Namen in Franz M. Jansen, wobei M. für den Vornamen seiner Frau Mathilde steht. Das Werk stellt eine ganz in schwarz gekleidete Fifi Kreutzer auf einem Stuhl sitzend dar. Die Arme sind auf die Lehne gestützt und die Hände in den Schoß gelegt. In der rechten Hand hält sie eine weiße Lilie. Ihr Gesicht ist von einprägsamer Schönheit und mit scharfen Konturen gemalt. Der Blick auf nichts Bestimmtes gerichtet. Sie wirkt ein wenig müde, gedankenverloren und völlig in-sich-gekehrt. Sie strahlt gleichzeitig die Ruhe und Gelassenheit einer Frau aus, die in Ihrem Leben bereits Höhen und Tiefen durchlebt hat. Unter ihr zeigt sich die Weite der Rheinlandschaft mit ihrem mäandernden Fluss. Franz M. Jansen ist mit diesem Gemälde ein faszinierend-schönes Porträt seiner Frau gelungen, das als Liebeserklärung an Sie zu verstehen ist. Die Lilie symbolisiert im christlichen Kanon Reinheit, Liebe und Unschuld. In der weltlichen Symbolik steht sie für Hochachtung und Zuneigung. Die Rheinlandschaft zeigt die gemeinsame und geliebte Heimat beider Künstler, die auch Fifi Kreutzer in Ihren Werken immer wieder darstellte. Erläuterungen zum Katalog Franz M.
