Judit Reigl - Kraftfelder / Centers of Dominance
No Customer Reviews
Beginning in the 1950s, Judit Reigl (b. Kapuv r, Hungary, 1923; d. Marcoussis, France, 2020) builds a singular creative oeuvre between abstraction and figuration, between Surrealism and gestural painting. After studying art in Budapest, Reigl flees Hungary in 1950; arriving in Paris, she is introduced to Andr Breton, who organizes her first exhibition in 1954. Under the influence of the cole de Paris, she branches out into criture automatique, then shifts toward free expression. Like her contemporaries Jackson Pollock and Helen Frankenthaler in New York, she lays out ever larger unprimed canvases on the floor and works them with a brush, her fingers, or other instruments. After 1966, bodily shapes emerge from her abstractions, and figures reappear in the pictures. On occasion of Reigl's centenary and the gift of three major works, the Neue Nationalgalerie mounts the artist's first solo exhibition at a museum in Germany. The book surveys the oeuvre of one of the most important protagonists of European art in the second half of the twentieth century.
