« I get old books, cut out the pictures, and make new pictures by carefully recombining the elements to surrealistic, or intriguing, or absurd, or poetic, or serious, or amusing effect.
Mainly I take a slightly unusual approach to collage in that I usually try to produce credible alternative illustrations rather than admixtures that announce themselves as COLLAGE.
My raw material is book illustrations that nobody else wants. In fact mostly I rescue it just before it gets pulped. » Bob May

Francesca Woodman

« This action that I foresee has nothing to do with melodrama. It is that life as lived by me now is a series of exceptions … I was (am?) not unique but special. This is why I was an artist … I was inventing a language for people to see the everyday things that I also see … and show them something different … Nothing to do with not being able “to take it” in the big city or w/ self doubt or because my heart is gone. And not to teach people a lesson. Simply the other side.“

Paul Wunderlich German (1927 – 2010)

« Born in Germany in 1927, painter, sculptor and printmaker Paul Wunderlich studied at the Hamburg Academy and after a three year stay in Paris returned to be Professor of the Art Academy there. He now lives and works in Hamburg and for part of the year in France. The German painter studied at the Kunstschule in the orangery of the castle of Eutin. In 1947 he went to the Hochschule fur Bildende Kunste, Hamburg, and studied graphic art. He extended his training by another semester to work under Willem Gremm. In 1951 he was offered a teaching post at the school, which he held until 1961.

In 1963 he became Professor for the Graphic Arts and Painting. Between 1951 and 1952, under the instruction of Emil Nolde and Oskar Kokoschka, he produced prints after their originals. In 1957 he created a series of Tachist paintings, for example S111/57 but he destroyed most of them later.

Towards the end of the 1950s he produced his first figurative prints and paintings. In the beginning their subjects were events from more recent German history, for example the set of lithographs 20 July 1944 (1959; Berlin, Gal. Brusberg), which depicted the execution of the men who had conspired against Adolf Hitler. This subject-matter was increasingly replaced by an eroticism that is partly Surrealist, partly decorative. In 1960 the public prosecutor of Hamburg confiscated such a series of prints.

Paul Wunderlich is professor of graphic art and painting at the University of Fine Arts, Hamburg, is a painter, sculptor and lithographer who lives and works for part of the year in Hamburg and the rest in France.

Married in 1963 to the photojournalist and fine art photographer Karin Szekessy (b. 1939, Essen), he sometimes paints and makes prints from the nude photographs made by Szekessy. Wunderlich belongs to the second generation of Fantastic Realists, sometimes called Magical Realists. These artists have remained faithful to the tradition although the imagery has remained contemporary.

Paul Wunderlich, the most prominent among them, has developed a style slightly cooler in temperament and more analytical. Often borrowing from classical mythology, he emphasizes the human form within a context that blends together contemporary and historical references. With cool aloofness, Wunderlich transports the viewer into a world of surreal eroticism and aesthetic symbolism. Again and again, Wunderlich spices his Fantastic Realism with a startling dose of irony.

After Picasso and Max Ernst no other artist has contributed as much to the sculpture of painters as Paul Wunderlich. The themes for his sculptures and objects are closely linked to his paintings, drawings and lithographs. Wunderlich sculptures and objects combine the simplicity of an idea with the refinement of the material, and imagination with perfection in shaping something into a perfect form. As an artist, Paul Wunderlich has remained faithful to his own artistic visions.

Over a period of several decades, Wunderlich’s complex and comprehensive body of work has led to numerous exhibitions in museums worldwide. In 1994-95, he had retrospectives in several Japanese museums (Tokyo, Osaka, Hokkaido, Gifu). Wunderlich has been successful in numerous international print competitions and has received many awards. In 1964, he was awarded the Japan Cultural Forum Award, Tokyo; in 1967, he received the Award Premio Marzotti, Italy; in 1970, he was awarded the Gold-Medal in Florence, Italy; in 1978, he received Gold-Medals at the Grafik-Biennale in Taiwan and in Bulgaria.

He lived and worked in Hamburg and Saint-Pierre-de-Vassols (Provence), where he died after a short illnes »Rogallery

Annemarie Heinrich (1912-2005)

« Annemarie Heinrich  était une photographe d’origine allemande naturalisée argentine. Spécialisée dans les portraits et le nu artistique, elle s’illustra plus particulièrement en photographiant dans les années 1940 une série d’actrices et d’acteurs de cinéma de son pays d’adoption. Elle fut probablement la première en Argentine à pratiquer la photographie comme une forme d’art.

Elle grandit à Berlin, jusqu’à ce que des raisons économiques et politiques (son père, auparavant premier violon à l’opéra de Berlin, revenu blessé de la Grande Guerre, était dorénavant dans l’incapacité de jouer de son instrument) portèrent sa famille à émigrer en Argentine en 1926,  C’est d’un de ces deux oncles, photographe de la localité, qu’elle apprit la photographie, se voyant offrir ainsi une alternative à son désir de devenir scénographe, désir irréalisable pour elle en Argentine, car ne possédant pas encore la langue espagnole.

Après que la famille eut déménagé vers le Grand Buenos Aires, à Villa Ballester (partido de San Martín), elle chercha, en l’absence de cours ou d’ouvrages spécialisés, à s’engager comme apprentie dans différents studios de photographie tenus par des Allemands, Polonais, Hongrois ou Autrichiens, où elle accomplit toutes sortes de tâches ‒ nettoyer les cuves de développement, préparer le révélateur etc. ‒, tout en étudiant, à ses heures, l’espagnol au Colegio Roca.
Le week-end, au moyen de l’appareil photo de son père, elle prenait des photos sur la place de Villa Ballester, le quartier qu’elle habitait avec sa famille. Elle aménagea une salle obscure dans le domicile parental et ouvrit, à l’âge de 18 ans, son premier studio de photographie. Avec l’aide de son père, elle confectionna ses propres sources d’éclairage à partir de bidons de kérosène.

Elle commença bientôt à faire le portrait des dames de la haute société pour le compte de la revue Mundo social, et, poser devant l’appareil photo de Heinrich étant devenu une sorte de consécration que toutes recherchaient, son studio de la rue Santa Fe se transforma progressivement en un lieu mythique.

Dans les années 1930, elle s’illustra surtout, en parallèle avec le grand développement que connut alors l’industrie du cinéma et la radio, et en plus de ses photos de mode, de danse, ou de ses nus, par des portraits d’actrices et d’acteurs, qu’elle fit paraître dans les revues consacrées au spectacle, telles que Sintonía, Radiolandia, El Hogar, entre autres En particulier, dès le tout premier numéro en 1935, et une quarantaine d’années durant, le magazine Radiolandia publia en page de couverture les photographies de Heinrich. Une première exposition consacrée à ses photographies eut lieu en 1938 ; de nombreuses autres devaient suivre à partir de 1950, en Argentine même, au Brésil, au Pérou, en Italie, en France et en Union soviétique ‒ la dernière en date au musée de la Photographie à Charleroi.

Annemarie Heinrich réalisa le portrait photographique de nombre de célébrités argentines, du spectacle ou autres, de la période dorée du cinéma et du théâtre argentins, images qui aux yeux de beaucoup d’Argentins aujourd’hui, souvent dans l’ignorance que ces photos sont d’elle, ont fini par revêtir un caractère de photo officielle, et appartiennent en quelque sorte à la mémoire collective argentine.

En 1953, elle cofonda l’éphémère groupe de photographes argentins Carpeta de los diez et mit sur pied en 1979, conjointement avec cinq autres photographes, le Conseil argentin de la Photographie, dont le propos était (et est encore) l’étude et la diffusion de la production photographique nationale argentine et l’introduction des œuvres les plus innovantes de la création mondiale. Entre autres faisaient partie de ce Conseil ses disciples Sara Facio et Alicia D’Amico.

En 1982, elle se vit décerner le prix Konex ‒ Diplôme du Mérite ‒ au titre de l’un des 5 meilleurs photographes de la décennie en Argentine.

Elle s’éteignit en septembre 2005, à l’âge de 93 ans, à Buenos Aires. Elle avait été mariée avec l’écrivain Ricardo Sanguinetti, dont elle eut deux enfants, Alicia et Ricardo Sanguinetti, qui sont tous deux actifs comme photographes. Alicia travaille dans le même studio que sa mère. ». wikipedia
