A R Penck Aka Ralf Winkler (German 1939-2017) COLOSSEUM, 1990 signed acrylic over silkscreen on canvas 180 by 240cm Neo-Expressionism is a style of painting and sculpture that developed between late Modernism and early Postmodernism. Some scholars, in fact, believe Neo-Expressionism played a vital role in the transition between Modernism and Postmodernism in that Neo-Expressionism accepted and rejuvenated historical and mythological imagery, as opposed to late modernism’s tendency to reject storytelling completely. Though many artists have practiced and revived aspects of the original Expressionism movement, it would appear that only the Neo-Expressionists have had far-reaching success. Georg Baselitz was a leading component, instigating a revival that dominated German art in the 1970s. By the 1980s this resurgence had become part of an international return to the sensuousness of painting, and a broad step away from the stylistically cool, distant sparseness of Minimalism and Conceptualism. All over the world artists began turning towards expressive directions, creating works that affirmed the redemptive power of art in general and painting in particular, drawing upon a variety of themes including the mythological, cultural, historical, nationalist and erotic. A. R. Penck is one of many pseudonyms of Ralph Winkler, a German Neo-Expressionist fine artist and jazz drummer. Penck is best known for his paintings and sculptures characterized by simplified figures and forms, and neo-primitive symbols and patterns. These lend his work a graffiti like quality, as is evidenced in Colosseum, 1990. Living in communist East Berlin, Penck was unable to exhibit his works. This led him to smuggle his works out to West Berlin and Switzerland, where he received enough acclaim to provide him with some protection from the East German authorities, until he was able to escape and settle in London. This background explains why Penck’s style fuses spontaneous self-expression with restraint, and pop culture and art historical influences with political and social concerns. Of the key tenets of Neo-Expressionism was the depiction of subject matter in a brutish manner. The frequently large-scale works, typical of the movement, exhibited highly textural and expressive brushwork and intense colours that had been rejected by the immediately preceding art movements. We see these ideas developed in the following lots by Penck, Jüchser, Morgner, Uhlig, König and Gallasch, all proponents of the Neo-Expressionist movement. Artsy. “A. R.
