Immendorf, Jorg | Ohne Titel / AT-Spiegelgrafik — available on Composition Gallery

View in a Room

// Ohne Titel / AT-Spiegelgrafik by Jörg Immendorff is a vivid and symbolically rich silkscreen print. The composition centers on a dynamic contrast between dark silhouetted figures forming a frame and a prominent red figure in the middle, who holds a diamond-shaped object with a golden outline of another figure inside it. The surrounding black shapes resemble a chaotic crowd, pressing inward from all sides, creating a sense of tension and conflict. The two circular emblems in the corners hint at historic or mythological references, adding layers of cultural commentary. Immendorff’s work often critiques social and political structures, and this piece seems to explore themes of individuality versus the collective, isolation, and perhaps the search for transcendence amidst societal pressures.

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.

Who are the Neue Wilden?

Neue Wilden is the term German artists used for Neo-Expressionism. In the 1970s and 80s, expressive painting re-emerged in Germany, with artists embracing intense colors and broad brushstrokes. The movement grew in opposition to minimal and conceptual art, favoring a return to raw, emotional expression through bold and dynamic painting techniques.
