[no title] 1995

Editor: This is a line drawing by Georg Baselitz from the Tate collection, it appears to be a figure drawn upside down. How do you interpret this work? Curator: The inversion here is key. What happens to our perception when a familiar symbol, the human figure, is presented contrary to our expectation? Does it disrupt meaning, or perhaps unlock a new understanding? Editor: I think it's disorienting, but also maybe freeing. Curator: Precisely. Baselitz often uses this technique. Consider how our cultural memory associates the upright figure with stability, authority. Inverting it challenges those deeply ingrained associations. What new narratives might emerge? Editor: It makes me rethink how I see everything. Thanks for the insights!
