Invited by Vienna's Kunsthistorisches Museum, Baselitz himself curated the selection of works for the exhibition, focusing exclusively on nude painting. Both the exhibition and the catalog revolve around this elemental human state and its fundamental role in European art. They also showcase the artist's penchant for provocation; many of his paintings are displayed upside down, as he positioned them in the 1960s.\u003cbr\u003eFrom the beginning of his career, Baselitz's work has been informed by a pronounced awareness of art history--Mannerism's transgression of classical rules particularly inspired him. Through the dramatic encounter between Baselitz's nudes and those of his predecessors, captivating insights into the history of nude painting emerge. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hatje Cantz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/18\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783775754118\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.76h x 11.02w x 0.94d","brand":"Georg Baselitz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43096338989237,"sku":"9783775754118","price":52.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_abd1b0db-e1b3-43eb-b3cb-dce7a41f2df9.jpg?v=1692805662","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/georg-baselitz-naked-masters-9783775754118","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
