Title: Raimund Girke
Description: 2012 is the tenth anniversary of the death of the painter Raimund Girke. This catalogue presents around forty works from all creative phases of the artist's life; it is published to mark the occasion and to accompany the exhibition at the Museum Kurhaus Kleve. Girke's entire oeuvre is shown in its incredible consistency: a radical renunciation of all figurative motifs; his paintings are visual experiences that emerge from the practice of paintbrush and paint. Girke's paintings are defined by their quiet rhythm and clear structure - they demonstrate both great concentration and great composure. Exhibition: Museum Kurhaus, Kleve, Germany (12.2.-22.4.2012).
