Description
HELMUNT MIDDENDORF (Dinklage, 1953).
Untitled, Olympic Suite. 1992.
Lithograph on 270 grams Vélin d'Arches paper, copy 197/250.
Signed and justified by hand.
Size: 90 x 63 cm.
The Olympic Suite is made up of 50 lithographs and serigraphs chosen to represent various contemporary artistic trends. It was published to commemorate the first centenary of modern Olympism. The artists chosen work in very diverse movements and styles, from the hyperrealism of Antonio López to the abstraction of Sol Lewitt, including abstract expressionism, the geometrism of Arden Quin, conceptual art, pop art, the new realism of Baldaccini and Rotella, and the new fauvism of Dokoupil, among others. Among the artists represented there are creators of great international renown, widely recognised by the critics.
Trained at the Berlin School of Art, Middendorf was a member of the "Heftige Malerei" group made up of other important artists representing a second generation of German Neo-Expressionism, inspired by German Expressionism and its main exponents: Max Beckmann, George Grosz or Emil Nolde, among other important artists. Middendorf's work is characterised by aggressiveness, realist and stark themes, all treated in recognisable forms. The human body, with forms tending towards abstraction, but without moving away from figuration, are crowned as protagonists in a totally expressive and colourful oeuvre.
