Sick Art

Expressionism
1974
20.0 x 24.0 cm

Kiefer returned to his photographs of northern Norway for inspiration here, infecting this picturesque fjord with bright pink sores in heavy gouache. The title, Kranke Kunst, inscribed on the border, connotes the infamous 1937 Munich exhibition "Entartete ‘Kunst’"(Degenerate "Art"), for which the Nazis assembled more than 650 modern works from German public collections in order to demonstrate that such art was unacceptable, sick, and "un-German." Ironically, the subject here is the very land that, through medieval Icelandic literature (the Edda), is known as the chief source of knowledge about German mythology.
