About the Item
Framed 21.5 x 17 image 12.5 x 9 inches.
Elvira Bach (born 22 June 1951) is a postmodernist German painter known for her colourful images of women. A member of the Junge Wilde art movement, she lives and works in Berlin. She is the mother of two children, including basketball player Maodo Lô.
Elvira Bach was born on 22 June 1951 in Neuenhain in Hesse, West Germany. She grew up with her twin sister Ingrid in a rural setting.
From 1967 to 1970, Bach studied at the Erwin-Stein-Schule (state glass vocational school) in Hadamar . Afterwards, she moved to Berlin and studied painting from 1972 to 1979 at the Berlin University of the Arts with "Junge Wilde" or "Neue Wilde" titled painters Rainer Fetting and Salomé. During her studies, she worked at the playhouse Schaubühne in Berlin. In 1981, a scholarship led Elvira Bach to the Dominican Republic to study as an "artist in residence", and was greatly inspired by her experiences there. That same year, she was invited to participate in the "Documenta VII". This was her breakthrough that led to a number of national and international exhibitions of her artwork.

Style
Bach's neo-expressionist portraits of women mirror the themes of her own life, and many of her works unmistakably resemble the artist. She often depicts colorful female portraits that represent many facets of female life, from fragility to sexuality, sensuality to self-determination.
Bach's works of the early 1980s were mostly self-reflective and focused on herself (Night Owl, Sophisticated Lady, Always Me). However, after her marriage and the birth of her two sons, her art became more representative of her new, more private family environment and home-life. Though Elvira Bach largely focuses on painting, she also works on bronze sculptures, ceramics and Murano glass sculptures.
In 1978, the Junge Wilde painting style arose in the German-speaking world in opposition to established avant garde, minimal art and conceptual art. It was linked to the similar Transavanguardia movement in Italy, USA (neo-expressionism) and France (Figuration Libre). The Junge Wilde painted their expressive paintings in bright, intense colors and with quick, broad brushstrokes very much influenced by Professor at the Academy of Art in Berlin, Karl Horst Hödicke They were also known as the Neue Wilde. Artists included; Austria: Siegfried Anzinger, Erwin Bohatsch, Herbert Brandl, Gunter Damisch, Hubert Scheibl, Hubert Schmalix, G.L. Gabriel-Thieler

Elvira Bach is a German painter and sculptor best known for her colorful self-portraits. Her work is distinctly stylized and deconstructs her identity and femininity into form, concept, and iconography. She is inspired by her own life, flowers, her sons, friends and simply being part of the world. Along with painters such as Bernd Zimmer, Albert Oehlen, and Martin Kippenbergerhe, Bach is a prominent member of the contemporary German artist collective Junge Wilde. She was born in Neuenhain, Germany, on June 22, 1951, and attended Berlin University of the Arts.

He grew up writing poetry, essays and literary prose. In the 1960s, he was active in the Second Russian Avant-garde movement in the Soviet Union. In 1971, he immigrated to Israel. In 1975, he established the Leviathan school together with Avraham Ofek and Shmuel Ackerman, seeking to combine symbolism, metaphysics and Judaism in an all-inclusive “national style.” Grobman’s lithograph work employs images and symbols from Jewish mysticism and Kabbalah. His paintings incorporate texts in Russian and Hebrew. In addition to his artistic endeavors, he writes about art and aesthetics. The group combined conceptual art and "land art" with Jewish symbolism. Of the three of them Avraham Ofek had the deepest interest in sculpture and its relationship to religious symbolism and images. In one series of his works Ofek used mirrors to project Hebrew letters, words with religious or cabbalistic significance, and other images onto soil or man-made structures. In his work "Letters of Light" (1979), for example, the letters were projected onto people and fabrics and the soil of the Judean Desert. In another work Ofek screened the words "America", "Africa", and "Green card" on the walls of the Tel Hai courtyard during a symposium on sculpture Part of the generation of emigre Russian artists, many Jewish, that included Yuri Kuper, Komar and Melamid, Eduard Steinberg, Erik Bulatov, Viktor Pivovarov, Vladimir Yankilevsky, Ilya Kabakov and Grisha Bruskin.
