Beschreibung

Cecily Browns unheimliche Kunst
Daniel Kehlmann mit dem Roman »Die Vermessung der Welt« (2006) der international erfolgreichste deutsche Autor der 2000er Jahre, schreibt in diesem eleganten Büchlein über Cecily Browns neueste Bilder: »Man kann es auch nüchterner sagen: Cecily Browns Kunst zeigt, wie oberflachlich und uninteressant der scheinbare Gegensatz zwischen Gegenstand und Abstraktion ist. Denn in einem hat der Konstruktivismus ja recht: Wir selbst fügen nach unseren eigenen nicht eben zuverlassigen Regeln aus einem Wirrwarr der Eindrücke ein bewegliches, brüchiges Modell zusammen. Wir betrachten ja unsere Umgebung nicht einfach, wir bewegen uns durch sie, somit zerfallt unsere Außenwelt dauernd, ordnet sich neu und immer anders, und nur die standige Arbeit unseres Bewusstseins erhalt uns den Anschein von Konstanz. Cecily Brown verfremdet die Welt nicht, sie malt sie so wie sie eigentlich ist, ein Spiel von Farbe und Schatten.«

Daniel Kehlmann (born 1975) is a German-language novelist and playwright of both Austrian and German nationality. His novel " Measuring the World", 2006, is the best selling book in the German language since Patrick Sü skind's " Perfume" released 1985. According to The New York Times, it was the world's second-best selling novel in 2006. All his subsequent novels reached the number one spot on Germany's SPIEGEL bestseller list and were translated into English. Cecily Brown is a leading contemporary painter, whose work embraces both representational and abstract elements in sensual depictions of figures and nudes. Brown was born 1969 in London, and attended the Slade School of Fine Art; she later studied printmaking and draftsmanship in addition to painting. She moved to New York in the early 1990s, quickly receiving critical acclaim for her painted works, which feature abstracted images of human forms, often engaging in sexual activity, in rich colors and animated brushstrokes. Her works draw on the legacies of Lucina Freud or Willem de Kooning.
