About the Item

Willibrord Haas (*1936 Schramberg), Entangled, 2008. etching, 28 cm (height) x 17 cm (width). Signed “Willibrord Haas” in pencil by the artist, dated “2008”, titled “Verschränkt” and marked “Zustand III”. - trimmed on the underside, small tear in the margin, otherwise in excellent condition Willibrord Haas calls his nudes, which stage the charms of the male body, "ignudi: "Ignudi is Italian and means 'naked, bare' in English, ignudo is known as the singular masculine, corresponding to Michelangelo's many magnificent naked youth figures that adorn the corners of the ceiling paintings in the Sistine Chapel -ignudi-. [This term implies the absence of shame, whereas the term -naked- is full of embarrassment". "The male figures present themselves free of shame without crossing the line into obscenity, even if sexual eros is the "driving force" of the depiction: "I am not the only one who notices that parts that are usually below the pubic line have become the focus of my attention, and I also find it amusing!" Willibrord Haas About the artist Willibrord Haas studied at the Munich Art Academy from 1954 to 1960 with Hermann Kaspar, Richard Seewald, Charles Crodel and Georg Schmidt. He also attended university courses with art historian Hans Sedlmayr and religious philosopher Romano Guardini. After completing his master's degree, Haas settled in Berlin, where he founded his own etching studio in 1972 with his wife, the artist Helga Wirth. His artistic development was influenced by his encounter with Joseph Beuys, whom he visited in his Düsseldorf studio in 1967. Inspired by Beuys' artistic thinking, he developed the color worlds characteristic of his later work, which are carried by an outwardly radiating energy and which he himself describes as "soul landscapes. In addition, Haas repeatedly created male nudes, which are also imbued with an energetic vitality. "... the small sheet lies in front of me, I have complete freedom, I can make anything out of it, a little kingdom, no one can talk me into it, and often the spontaneous magic of droplets, lines of drops, lines, surfaces, and I have created a little happiness". Willibrord Haas GERMAN VERSION Willibrord Haas (*1936 Schramberg), Verschränkt, 2008. Radierung, 28 cm (Höhe) x 17 cm (Breite). Vom Künstler in Blei mit „Willibrord Haas“ signiert auf „2008“ datiert als „Verschränkt“ betitelt und mit „Zustand III“ ausgewiesen. - an der Unterseite beschnitten, kleiner Randeinriss, sonst in ausgezeichnetem Zustand Willibrord Haas bezeichnet seine die Reize des männlichen Körpers inszenierenden Aktdarstellungen als ‚Ignudi‘: „Ignudi, das ist Italienisch und bedeutet auf Deutsch „nackt, bloß“, man kennt ignudo als Singular männlich, entsprechend sind die vielen herrlichen nackten Jünglingsgestalten Michelangelos, die die Ecken in den Deckenmalereien der sixtinischen Kapelle zieren –ignudi–. […] Dieser Begriff insinuiert die Abwesenheit von Scham, der Begriff –nackt–, dagegen, ist voller Peinlichkeit.“ „Die Männergestalten präsentieren sich von Scham befreit ohne jedoch die Grenze zur Obszönität zu überschreiten, auch wenn der sexuelle Eros die „Triebfeder“ der Darstellung ist: „Was nicht nur mir auffällt, dass Teile, die sonst unter der Schamgrenze liegen, bei mir in den Mittelpunkt rücken, und ich dabei auch noch Spaß empfinde!“ Willibrord Haas zum Künstler Willibrord Haas studierte von 1954 bis 1960 an der Münchner Kunstakademie bei Hermann Kaspar, Richard Seewald, Charles Crodel und Georg Schmidt. Zudem besuchte er Universitätsveranstaltungen bei dem Kunsthistoriker Hans Sedlmayr und dem Religionsphilosophen Romano Guardini. Nach seinem Abschluss als Meisterschüler wurde Haas in Berlin ansässig, wo er zusammen mit seiner Ehefrau, der Künstlerin Helga Wirth, 1972 eine eigene Radierwerkstatt einrichtete. Für seine künstlerische Entwicklung war die Begegnung mit Joseph Beuys wegweisend, den er 1967 in seinem Düsseldorfer Atelier besuchte. Von Beuys künstlerischem Denken inspiriert, entwickelte er die für sein weiteres Oeuvre charakteristischen von einer nach außen abstrahlenden Energetik getragenen Farbwelten, die er selbst als ‚Seelenlandschaften‘ bezeichnet. Darüber hinaus hat Haas aber immer wieder insbesondere männliche Akte gestaltet, die ebenfalls von einer energetischen Vitalität beseelt sind. "... das kleine Blättchen liegt vor mir, ich habe die völlige Freiheit, ich kann Alles daraus machen, ein kleines Königreich, keiner kann mir reinreden, und oft gelingt der spontane Zauber aus Tröpfchen, Linien, Flächen und ich habe ein kleines Glück erschaffen."
