Immendorf, Jorg | Nase 2 — available on Composition Gallery

View in a Room

// Nase 2 by Jörg Immendorff is a silkscreen print that presents an intriguing blend of abstraction and figurative hints, characteristic of the artist's style. The artwork centers around a dark, organic shape with stylized lines and circles that resemble facial features or mechanical elements, set against a textured blue background. Surrounding this central form are intricate patterns and figures rendered in earthy brown, which add depth and complexity to the composition. The piece evokes a sense of ambiguity, leaving viewers to ponder the symbolic meaning of the central shape, which could represent a face, object, or abstract form. Immendorff’s use of muted colors and layered textures gives the work an introspective tone, hinting at themes of identity, societal critique, or existential contemplation, as is often seen in his body of work.

Jörg Immendorff (Germany, 1945–2007) was a German painter, sculptor, and stage designer associated with the Neue Wilde movement. His 'Café Deutschland' series critically examined German history and division. Immendorff's politically charged art often featured symbolic imagery, reflecting his engagement with social issues.

A member of the Neue Wilde movement, Jorg Immendorff received acclaim for his largely figurative work across the mediums of painting and sculpture – Jorg has explained the reason for his figurative style by simply stating: ‘something is beautiful if it is honest’. Among Immendorff’s earliest works was the LIDL group of performances, sculptures and paintings, all of which depicted iconographic motifs that one could expect to find among the make-believe world of a child - motifs included playhouses; goldfish, turtles and dogs, and the body of work was created as a derisive criticism of the present artistic pretensions. Immendorf was influenced by the works of Renato Guttuso, as evidenced in his Café Deutschland work - a series of sixteen large-scale, socio-political paintings that depicted disco-goers as a symbol of the division between East and West Germany. Immendorff was never afraid to challenge the social and political tensions of his time, and was on one occasion arrested for defaming the German flag after appearing outside West German Parliament with a wooden block tethered to his ankle – the block was labeled LIDL and painted in colours of the flag.
