Rage and obstinacy are closely related. In the work of Georg Baselitz and Alexander Kluge they are fundamental categories. Rage is dynamic: it can grow and suddenly erupt into flaming protests, revolts, revolutions, and war. Within the figure of the hero its energies are concentrated. In this book Georg Baselitz and Alexander Kluge compare the melancholically inclined figure of the occidental hero (and its deconstruction) to the very different ethos of the Japanese hero, the...
Rage and obstinacy are closely related. In the work of Georg Baselitz and Alexander Kluge they are fundamental categories. Rage is dynamic: it can grow and suddenly erupt into flaming protests, revolts, revolutions, and war. Within the figure of the hero its energies are concentrated. In this book Georg Baselitz and Alexander Kluge compare the melancholically inclined figure of the occidental hero (and its deconstruction) to the very different ethos of the Japanese hero, the »Antipodean«.
This book is a combination of Georg Baselitz’s graphic art and Alexander Kluge’s texts. Connected to the now daily discussions of »anger« and »hate« in a political context, it is concerned with literary and pictorial depictions of »rage« as an extreme (extremist) but at the same time fundamental form of human agitation, of »thymotic energy« (Sloterdijk). From historical derivations and processes this leads to a tableau of rage-types, raging heroes, and varieties of their world-creating and world-destroying heroism in a comparison of East and West (Europe and Japan). Furthermore, important depictions of »rage« are represented by drawings of the Japanese artist Hokusai and Baselitz’s versions thereof, producing, as a result, a cross-cultural triangulation of »rage« in image and text.Georg Baselitz was born in 1938. He is one of the most important painters, sculptors and graphic artists in the world. The drawings in this collection are references to his visual creations as presented by his alter ego: Hokusai.
