| Cardi Black Box exhibition season kicks off 2010 with a first. Thursday, January 21, 2009 at 19.00 inaugurate the first solo exhibition in Italy dedicated to Jörg Immendorff, a great German artist that the Seventies was a key figure in European art . Jörg Immendorff has contributed in a unique way to art history, coming in museums, books, visual imagination and above all in the consciousness of contemporary man. Jörg Immendorff, Late Paintings is a kind of challenge because they do not want to tell the story of Immendorff through his most famous works, the great narrative cycles of the seventies and eighties, but chooses a particular vantage point, presenting the latest works created before death. Between 2006 and 2007 - the year of his death - Immendorff actually produces a series of masterpieces of great emotional force that combine language expression to a new image creation and formal research. In these paintings of 2006 and 2007 Jörg Immendorff merges images from art history, from the German Renaissance painting, the mannerisms, from photos taken by the media, by allegorical figures in the paintings that intertwine and overlap, through digital processing. The physical limitation caused by the disease that strikes gradually reducing the physical capacities until his death in 2007, the artist responds with a renewed awareness of self and the world and faces a new experience of form. The interpretation of reality acquires a more fragmented and the narrative element is replaced by the fusion of many elements that take forms are ambiguous. The autobiographical aspect is crucial, but if it was once tied to the experience and ideology, in recent work is the result of an inner eye, the gaze of a man in his life through his new consciousness. All along its route Artistic Immendorff has used painting as a reflection on social and economic realities of postwar Germany. Political militant in the ranks of the extreme left, in his artistic Immendorff, a student of Joseph Beuys, takes on indelible traces of movements like Expressionism, New Objectivity, Neo-Dada. The result is a pictorial universe distinctly marked by history and its contemporary issues. Jörg Immendorff With the exhibition, Late Paintings Cardi Black Box continues its path in the belief that a significant and exciting exhibition program is to give space to young people but also bring to public attention the work of someone who has been an undeniable influence and inspiration for future generations.
