Robert Elfgen. Painting without Painting

Zusatztext

"I actually work like a sculptor. For my paintings, I use solid materials like wood or brass, which I can stain, saw off, and shape." Robert Elfgen doesn't paint his paintings, he builds them. The brightly illustrated catalogue Robert Elfgen. Painting without painting is devoted to the artistic idea that leads Robert Elfgen to his images. Through 34 color plates, 40 illustrations, and a comprehensive text contribution, this catalogue demonstrates Elfgen's understanding of the image as embedded in the history of painting - from the Middle Ages through Romanticism to the 21st century. Painting without painting also features hitherto unpublished works by the artist.
