[no title] 1995

Curator: This striking print is by Georg Baselitz, from his extensive body of work. The olive-green hue and chaotic linework certainly command attention, don't you think? Editor: It’s like a fever dream, all frantic energy. Those radiating lines above the figure’s head...are those meant to be sunbursts or explosions of raw thought? Curator: Knowing Baselitz, it’s likely both! He’s always exploring the tension between order and chaos, the beautiful and the grotesque. It seems the figure's pose, almost fetal, speaks to a vulnerability at odds with the aggressive lines. Editor: I see that tension. The figure almost dissolves into the background, yet the lines hold a strange, nervous power. Curator: Yes, that's the thing about Baselitz – he draws you in with that very unease. It's a haunting image, isn't it? Editor: Absolutely, a raw nerve exposed on paper. It lingers.
