| Summary: | In 2011 German Neo-Expressionist painter Andreas Schulze lived in Paris thanks to a research grant. At some point, he visited the Louvre, let himself be swept up by the stream of tourists, looked at pictures, met an old friend and started to photograph his series Louvre. The photographs reflect on the nature of image production while in front of images. This unconventional project sheds new light on Schulze's long art career. The images, combined with text, convey the feeling of stumbling among images of torture, tenderness, humor, and all of the human condition held within the Louvre. Schulze creates a grammar of patterns and forms from one page to the next. Gradually a visual narrative emerges which, with some unexpected turns, reformulates the question of the origin of images. |
