Jörg Immendorff
Gyntiana: Birth/Onion Man
1992
Oil on Canvas
300 x 400cm |
In Gyntiana, Jorg Immendorff presents an allegory of creation: surrounded by heroes of ideological importance, an onion springs forth from a richly fertile womb. Jorg Immendorff once said that painting ‘has the function of a potato'. Here it's reborn in the multilayered richness of ideological and intellectual nourishment. |
