"der große malspaß" by diceindustries

currently at the kabinet. more to see and to buy.
reminds me of "comic abstraction" at the moma ny. and of rachel whitread.
wie schon bei der max ernst ausstellung liegt der reiz darin, die arbeiten im original zu sehen. in der gedruckten reproduktionen kann man die unterschiedlichen arten von papier nicht mehr erkennen, die verschiedenen schichten der collage werden zu einem bild, die klebespuren sind weg, ebenso wie die kleinen korrekturen und schumeleien.
