>Das Werk der Bildhauerin Paloma Varga Weisz handelt vom Mythos als eine Kraft von Märchen und Legenden, die sich im Laufe der Zeit verwandelt haben, deren ursprüngliche Kraft sich aber wie ein roter Faden durch das psychomentale und emotionale Bewusstsein zieht. Paloma Varga Weisz gleicht einer Ausgräberin. Es ist, als würde sie die Gedächtnisstruktur des Holzes freilegen. Als würde sie beim Ausgraben Gefundenes und Erfundenes in einen fernen Gleichklang bringen, staunend über die Legenden ihres Körpergedächtnisses mit der Tiefe der Wälder verbinden, die wir als Kinder aus den Märchen kennen lernten.
The exhibition comprises all the halls of the Museum Kurhaus Kleve and presents for the first time ever, all the multifaceted dimensions of holdings including sculpture of the Middle Ages through the Baroque, the great age of landscape art in Cleves, the Robert Angerhausen collection, as well as modern and contemporary art from two key figures: Ewald Mataré and Joseph Beuys.
Alex Katz has been viewed as one of the most important figurative painters in America for more than 50 years and has been a significant influence on a great number of younger painters from all over the world. Through his direct images and simple, everyday motifs that are reduced to the essential, but with a monumental format, he has become a chronicler of modern life in the second half of the 20th century. Even though the paintings with their bold, powerful colours contain many potential symbols, they do not tell any stories. Both representational and abstract, focusing more on the surface than on great depth, the works of Katz resemble film stills: the moments before and after are left to the imagination of the observer. This catalogue is a collection of around 40 paintings from the period between 1959 and 2008. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Alex Katz: An American Way of Seeing, October 2009 - February 2010, at Museum Kurhaus Kleve as well as before in Sara Hildén Art Museum, Tampere/Finnland, and the Musée de Grenoble, France.
