Deutschlandhalle, Berlín, 20 de noviembre de 1971. La solitaria figura de Kinski se adentra en la escena para interpretar un monólogo escrito por él mismo, llamado “Jesus Christus Erlöser”. Esta actuación es el culmen de un trabajo que lo ha tenido ocupado durante más de diez años. Son los años hippies, cuando el musical “Jesus Christ Superstar” era un gran éxito. Sin embargo, el “Jesus Christus Erlöser” de Kinski no tiene nada que ver con aquel. Es una interpretación llena de emoción, concentrada en la voz del actor. El contenido, según el mismo Kinski, es “la historia más emocionante jamás contada de la vida de Jesucristo”, que fuè uno hombres de los “más valientes y libres de la historia. Un hombre que preferiò morir antes que continuar a vivir arrodillado”.
Emil Nolde was a Nazi – and so what, asks contemporary German artist Daniel Richter. “It’s a moralistic debate. A debate, that mirrors the moralism and bigottery of a generation that seems to think, that the world is a moral playground.” Emil Nolde’s relationship to the Nazi-regime in the Third Reich has given rise to immense discussions within the last months. For decades the broader public had a picture of Nolde being one of the “entartete” artists as well as being prohibited painting by the Nazi-regime. Though this on the surface is true, it was the result of a great disappointment to Nolde. For years, he had strived to become “the” artist of the Thrid Reich, praising his own art as true, German, anti-French and anti-Jewish. Possible competitors within the German art world like Max Pechstein he actively denounced to the Nazi authorities.
The Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky claimed, or has been credited with, the 'creation' of abstract art. At the core of this film is a dramatic recreation of Kandinsky's account of returning to his studio one dark evening, and being astonished by an unknown masterpiece of abstract art leaning against the easel - a picture which turned out to be one of his own landscapes fallen on its side. 'Now I knew for certain that the object spoiled my pictures.' While this film's narration does indeed emphasize the notion of an inspired breakthrough to Abstraction, the picture it conveys in more purely filmic ways is a rich and complex one.
“Pat Pasloff is a strong artist within a strong tradition…She has transcended some of the angst of Abstract Expressionism, without descending into something that is bland or formulaic or potentially conceptual” – David Cohen Pat Pasloff (1928 – 2011) was an ambitious abstract expressionist painter who produced large scale, fresh, and vital bodies of work. Studying under pioneering artist William de Kooning, she was able to find her own path and grow from his influence. Her patterns and grids come alive with the materiality and physicality of her paintings. Watch as Pasloff describes her experiences painting, gaining an education in art, and as her visual language of emotion comes alive.
