Kultúrkedd - Philip Swarbrick

Philip Swarbrick is an illustrator and the Head of Art History at New College, Swindon. He was born in South Africa in 1965 and originally he has been a policeman during apartheid. And no needs more words about his art. We like it. Don't we, guys? Very very much.

Philip Swarbrick illusztrátor és az Art History at New College (Swidon) vezetője. Dél-Afrikában született 1956-ban és eredetileg rendőr volt az apartheid alatt. Nos, több szóra nincs is szükség a művészetét illetően. Egyszerűen imádjuk őt. Nemde, fiúk?

'How does your sexuality influence your work?

To quote Tom of Finland, 'If the painting isn’t wankable it’s not working' Or, on a more serious note, my work reflects my manifold sexual idiosyncrasies.'

'There's a real voyeuristic element to your paintings and indeed, some of them show guys caught in the act while others stare directly out at the viewer. Are you trying to directly involve the audience in the sex and emotions of the scene?
 
Most definitely.'

Richard Grüne

Artist Richard Grüne (1903-1983), who trained at the Bauhaus school in Weimar under teachers including Paul Klee and Wassily Kandinsky, was arrested under Paragraph 175 (Germany's anti-sodomy law against gay man) in 1934 and he was sent to the Sachsenhausen camp in October 1937 and to the Flossenbuerg camp in April 1940.

Grüne himself remained in the Flossenburg camp until 1945. As American forces approached, he escaped the evacuation of Flossenburg. Richard Grüne spent most of the remainder of his life in Spain. He spent much this time producing artworks depicting his experiences and those of other camp survivors.

Richard Grüne (1903-1983) képzőművészt, aki a Bauhaus iskola követőjeként kezdte a pályáját Klee és Kandinsky tanítványaként, 1934-ben tartóztatták le a melegekkel szemben alkalmazott 175. paragrafus alapján, s 1934-ben a sachsenhauseni majd a flossenbuergi koncentrációs táborba deportálták. Egészen 1945-ig volt a lágerben. Amikor az amerikai csapatok közeledtek, túlélte az evakuálás, majd hátralévő életét Spanyolországban töltötte, ahol a művészete segítségével dolgozta fel a láger traumáját, s ábrázolta a foglyok megpróbáltatásait.
