About the Item

Reiner Schwarz "Don Quichotte" Year: 1973 Medium: Color Lithograph Edition: 60 Size: 19.68 x 25.98 in. Signed, numbered and titled After fleeing and expelling from Silesia, Reiner Schwarz spent the rest of his childhood in a village near Hanover, the essential school time then in Hanover. In 1960 he moved to Berlin, where he began studying at the State University of Fine Arts with the surrealist Mac Zimmermann . In 1964 his work was first shown in a solo exhibition in Bremen. The criticism in Bremen attested to his own view of things, his own pictorial language, which feeds on the close observation of the environment. Gallery Brusberg represented over 20 years the entire work Reiner Schwarz ', documented with the catalog raisonné of the lithographs of 1984. Several large exhibitions, such as the Kunstverein Mannheim, the Museum Ostdeutsche Galerie Regensburg (retrospective of images and lithographs) , followed in the gallery Brusberg in Hannover and in Berlin on the Kurfürstendamm. In 1987 there was a pioneering meeting with Rolf Münzner (Geithain) and Peter Schnürpel (Altenburg) in the printing workshop Kätelhön. 1988 Black began to draw realistically on large format packaging papers from the GDR. The chief restorer of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Prussian Cultural Heritage, judges the quality of these GDR packaging papers: "They are a natural product, darken slightly, but are completely harmless in the conservatory sense." Of these packaging papers, on which Reiner Schwarz bis works today, man is gone. One experiences still lifes, objects of the everyday use and just deserted spaces - but "... they are spaces in which the people lived, left their traces and shaped the spaces. The objects became individuals in use by humans themselves, they carry the memory of these people in themselves. I pay tribute to the objects and the people I did not know that I did not represent, but who gave these things life. " The art historian Helmut Börsch-Supan wrote about these drawings:" Reiner Schwarz shows the view of reality from which man is banished and only what he has done is visible ... His message is gentle but subversive. It is resistance to the inhuman speed of the machine. The pictures argue for a different way of dealing with time and therefore also with life. "
