Germany 1996. Henrik Ibsen’s classic Peer Gynt must be an obvious challenge to any artist today. Nevertheless, there are several reasons why especially Immendorff feels a special kind of interest in the play. Not only does he know theatre, having been a ballet dancer as a boy and having worked with sets and stage design at the beginning of the sixties with Theo Otto, but also in a very precise sense, his own artistic creations, his paintings, have something in common with theatre and with Henrik Ibsen’s method. Here is an old Norwegian fairytale turned into a modern story by this series of paintings. Immendorff occupies the role of the viewer in this play, making his interventions in the text, and also gives those viewing his paintings the task to complete them and to make them speak beyond their apparent limits., English, Year1996, Illust.
