Jonathan Meese. Die nackteste Freiheit der Kunst, Galerie Sies + Höke, Düsseldorf, April 14 - May 12, 2018. "Art is the most total freedom. Art is the state of the future. Art stands above things. Art is an evolutionary command. Art is free of any ideology. Art disempowers any non-art. Art is total childhood play. Art is the most invincible force. Art is the boss. Art is number one." Jonathan Meese 2018 about his new pictures, Manifest, video from March 18, 2018, produced in his Berlin studio "Erzhauptquartier", quoted from: website Sies + Höke (https://www.sieshoeke.com/de/exhibitions/jonathan-meese-die-nackteste-freiheit-der-kuns "The great thing about these pictures is that they have no taste. There is no taste in these pictures. It"s like a butcher plate. It"s just there." Jonathan Meese about his artistic work and his new pictures from 2018, quoted from: Website Sies + Höke (https://www.sieshoeke.com/de/exhibitions/jonathan-meese-die-nackteste-freiheit-der-kunst).

Twice signed and dated on the reverse of the canvas as well as titled. Stretcher inscribed with the work number "MEE/M 4005". 120 x 100 cm (47.2 x 39.3 in). [CH]. • Self-portrait: Just as the protagonist in this painting, Jonathan Messe also feels "kunstdeutsch" (art German, in an interview with Stefan Koldehoff, January 31, 2020, Deutschlandfunk Kultur, online). • In 2018 the artist proclaimed a new work phase and turned to a painting dominated by pink, yellow and orange. • Using strong symbols like the iron cross and a surprisingly soft figuration, the artist creates, in combination with the typical, often ironic messages, a highly recognizable style. • Meese"s works can be found at, among others, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and the Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich. • The artist had grand solo shows at, among others, the Pinakothek der Moderne in Munchen in 2018, the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna in 2017 and in 2007 at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Humlebæk . We are grateful to the Bureau Jonathan Meese, Berlin, for the kind support in cataloging thsi lot.
