This weekend, we found ourselves in Aschaffenburg / Germany for a family visit. As we walked through the old town, I saw the poster of an exhibition of degenerate German art . The exhibition was a revelation to me. These artists mostly unknown to current literature on German art impressed and even excited me. I did not know there was such an artistic ferment in the 30s. The exhibition consists mainly of graphic works from the collection Gerhard Schneider. And it is in woodcuts and lithographs that one can see great strength, in an expressionist manner. And I felt connected to them.
For myself, I try to be the witness of my time while "verschollen" (disappeared) from the art circuit. Celebrity is for me like a projector beam which isolates a spectator in the audience. A blow to the left or right and someone else is lit. I'm currently reading: The Narcissism Epidemic, by JMTwenge, K.Campbell). I've written in this blog on this topic which concerns every artist . I beIieve that I am competent in my field of art, while recognizing that there may be other artists at least as "good” as me. My desire to be recognized, celebrated, adored is contained by this safeguard. And it is better, I think. As I am not subject to the dictates of duly surprise or shock with each new work, I can devote myself to create spontaneously, without any second thought.
To return to my "roots" in art, I find myself at home in this exhibition, although my expression and my concerns are different.
Between huge Jeff Koons Frankfurt / Main exhibit and the one in Aschaffenburg , my heart does not balance for a moment, because the brute Nazis had a luckier hand in choosing the "degenerate" works, rather than the current museum curators with their monster exhibitions.

Ce week-end, nous nous sommes trouvés à Aschaffenburg/Allemagne pour une visite familiale. En nous promenant dans la vieille ville, j’ai aperçu l’affiche d’une exposition sur l’art dégénéré allemand. L’exposition a été une révélation pour moi. Ces artistes, pour la plupart inconnus des publications courantes sur l’art allemand, m’ont impressionné voire enthousiasmé. J’ignorais qu’il y avait un tel bouillonnement artistique dans les années 30. L’exposition consiste essentiellement en des œuvres graphiques, de la collection Gerhard Schneider. Et c’est dans les gravures sur bois et les lithos que s’exprime une grande force, graphique, très expressionnistes. Et je me suis senti relié à eux. Car moi aussi, j’essaie d’être le témoin de mon temps tout en étant « verschollen » (disparu) par rapport au circuit de l’art. La notoriété est pour moi comme un faisceau de projecteur qui isole un spectateur dans le public. Un coup à gauche ou à droite et c’est quelqu’un d’autre qui se trouve éclairé. Je lis actuellement: The Narcissism Epidemic, J.M.Twenge, K.Campbell. J’ai déjà écrit dans ce blog sur ce thème qui concerne chaque créateur. Si je m’interroge, je me trouve compétent dans mon domaine artistique, tout en reconnaissant qu’il peut y avoir d’autres créateurs au moins aussi « bons que moi. Mon désir d’être reconnu, célébré, adulé est contenu par ce garde-fou. Et cela vaut mieux, il me semble. Comme cela, je ne suis pas soumis au diktat de devoir surprendre ou choquer avec chaque nouvelle œuvre, mais je peux me consacrer à créer en toute spontanéité, sans arrière-pensée.
Pour revenir à mes « racines » artistiques, je me retrouve dans cette exposition, même si mon expression et mes préoccupations sont bien différentes.
Entre la grande exposition Jeff Koons à Francfort/Main et celle d’Aschaffenburg, mon cœur ne balance pas un instant, car les Nazis avaient la main heureuse en choisissant les œuvres « dégénérées », bien plus que les curateurs de musées actuels avec leurs grands bastringues.
