Image: 27 1/2 x 39 1/2" (69.8 x 100.3 cm); sheet: 29 3/8 x 40 7/8" (74.6 x 103.8 cm) - Published by Maximilian Verlag/Sabine Knust, Munich - Printed by Till Verclas, Hamburg

Woman and Woman by Georg Baselitz is a limited edition woodcut print created between 1993 and 1994, measuring 74.6 x 103.8 cm. Known for his bold and expressive style, Baselitz carves dynamic, abstract figures into the woodblock, resulting in a striking composition of intertwined forms rendered in yellow against a black background. The piece exhibits his characteristic exploration of the human figure, fragmented and distorted, yet suggestive of movement and emotion. The use of sharp, jagged lines and the contrast of light and dark create an intense visual experience, revealing the raw, tactile nature of the woodcut technique.

Georg Baselitz (Germany, 1938–2026) was a groundbreaking painter, sculptor, and graphic artist, known for his Neo-Expressionist works. Renowned for inverting his subjects in 1969 to challenge artistic conventions, Baselitz explored themes of memory, identity, and national history. His provocative style profoundly shaped contemporary art.

Medium

Woodcut

WoodcutWoodcut is a printing technique where an image is carved into the surface of a woodblock using gouges, with the remaining flat surface holding the ink for printing. The areas cut away by the artist do not carry ink, while the uncut areas do, producing the desired print. The carving follows the wood's grain, unlike wood engraving, where the block is cut across the end-grain. Ink is applied to the surface with a roller, ensuring only the flat, uncarved areas receive ink, leaving the recessed, non-printing areas clean.

I always feel attacked when I'm asked about my painting.
- Georg Baselitz

Renowned for his expressionistic, often grotesque figurative artwork, Georg Baselitz’s output spanned painting, wood sculpture, and printmaking. His most notable works often addressed questions surrounding Germany’s national identity in the aftermath of the Second World War. He was at the centre of significant controversy in 1980 when he represented Germany at the Venice Biennale, exhibiting a large wooden sculpture that appeared to reference a Nazi salute.

Among Baselitz’s early influences were Art Brut and Abstract Expressionism, as well as the work of artists such as Wassily Kandinsky and Edvard Munch. The exaggerated features present throughout his work were intended as symbolic devices, and one of his most recognised bodies of work is the Hero series, depicting wounded and scarred soldiers in the aftermath of war.

Towards the end of the 1960s, Baselitz began painting his subjects upside down as a deliberate strategy to shift focus away from representation and toward the act of painting itself. His Elke series stands among the most notable examples of this approach.

Artwork by Roy Lichtenstein

What is late modernism?

Late Modernism refers to the continuation and evolution of Modernist principles in art, architecture, and literature from the mid-20th century into the late 20th century. This movement maintains a focus on form, abstraction, and the rejection of traditional styles, but it often incorporates more complexity and ambiguity compared to early Modernism. Late Modernism explores themes such as alienation, identity, and the fragmentation of reality, reflecting the social and cultural shifts of the post-war period. It is seen in the works of architects like Louis Kahn and artists like Francis Bacon, who pushed the boundaries of Modernism while responding to the changing world around them.
