About Oskar Schlemmer
1888-1943
His project was "the human being". He depicts the human being without expressive expression, as an "art figure", insisting that in our highly complex time, the human being is still the ideal aesthetic measure of all things.
"I want to create types of humans, not portraits… I want the essence of space, not interiors," that is how Oskar Schlemmer summarised the approach of his art. His subject is figures and their relationship to the space around them. It would be wrong to see anonymized, even alienated people in these carefully composed mannequins. It is no coincidence that they are reminiscent of archaic models that Schlemmer revered as the highest expression of the human form.
For a long time, Oskar Schlemmer’s works were not comprehensively exhibited, and even basic scholarly publications were difficult. The reason: Schlemmer's second-generation heirs repeatedly withdrew loans from museums and sometimes even prohibited reproductions. This made the great Bauhaus artist a "famous unknown". While individual works, such as the "Bauhaustreppe" (Bauhaus Stairway), attained iconic significance, another part of his oeuvre virtually disappeared from contemporary consciousness. This changed only recently.
In 2015, 70 years after his death, the Stuttgart State Gallery dedicated a globally respected exhibition to Oskar Schlemmer, whose catalogue was finally able to offer a comprehensive, richly illustrated presentation. He was also once again perceived beyond specialist circles as the great master of modernism, to be mentioned with his Bauhaus colleagues Kandinsky and Klee.

Depiction of typical scenes from daily life in painting, with distinctions between rural, bourgeois, and courtly genres.
The genre reached its peak and immense popularity in Dutch paintings of the 17th century. In the 18th century, especially in France, the courtly and gallant painting became prominent, while in Germany, a more bourgeois character developed.
Giclée = derived from the French verb gicler "to squirt, to spray".
The Giclée method is a digital printing process. It is a high-resolution, large-format print produced with an inkjet printer using special different-coloured dye- or pigment-based inks (usually six to twelve). The inks are lightfast, meaning they are resistant to harmful UV light. They provide a high level of nuance, contrast, and saturation.
The Giclée process is suitable for art canvases, handmade paper and watercolour paper as well as silk.
Collective term for the painters and sculptors of the 20th century, such as Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró, Marc Chagall and others, whose works are now considered iconic artworks of our times.
