Self Portraits, 1973-1998

Rainer Fetting has emerged as the most successful and well-known artist of the "Neuen Wilden", a group of German painters who began their victorious march through the international art scene more than 20 years ago. This book presents the thematic field of self-portraits from Fetting's diverse oeuvre. Although this is one of the most important aspects of Fetting's painting, a genre which has consistently concerned him during the past quarter century, it has not yet been examined in its entirety. These paintings demonstrate the context of art history in which he sees his own work, and why, in the age of digital media, he does not consider the painting of panel pictures at all anachronisticRomain, Lothar is the author of 'Self Portraits, 1973-1998', published 2003 under ISBN 9783875848861 and ISBN 3875848861.
