A lavishly illustrated exploration of recent paintings by Heinz Mack.
Non-conformist and daring, German artist Heinz Mack recently turned his attention back to the canvas, after a break of more than twenty years. In the new works reproduced in this volume, Mack translates light, movement, and immateriality into the glowing worlds of the colors of the chromatic spectrum. Through the exploration of the juxtaposition of colors and visible brushstrokes in the genre of the monumental panel picture, he opens up a view of the infinite, the boundless, and the immaterial. Along with stunning full-color reproductions of Macks work, the book includes conversations and letters in which he explains his ideas and sources of inspiration.
“There is no substitute for the happiness which colours give me.” After a long break, Heinz Mack has been focusing intensively on painting again for over thirty years. A cross-section of his "Chromatische Konstellationen" from 1991 until the present day shows how he translates the greatest possible purity of colour, light and immateriality into a broad spectrum of colour sequences and structures. Texts by Heinz Mack and Robert Fleck illuminate the essence of these colour worlds. Colour as light and light as colour – this represents, as it were, the nucleus of Mack’s painting. Within this premise he offers us a wide variety: chapters on, for example, the primacy of colour, atmosphere and nature, space, movement and geometric forms show the fascinating bandwidth of his work. The volume closes with an unusual undertaking: in a personal juxtaposition with works from art history from Duccio to Barnett Newman, the artist grants us an insight into his collective pictorial memory.
