Description: An exploration by an artist and writer duo of a fundamental constant in the history of humankind: rage and its impact on the world. Rage and obstinacy are close relatives and fundamental categories in the work of both Georg Baselitz and Alexander Kluge. In World - Changing Rage these two accomplished German creators explore links and fractures between two cultures through two media: ink and watercolor on paper and the written word. The long history of humankind is also a history of rage fury and wrath. In this book Baselitz and Kluge explore the dynamism of rage and its potential to rapidly grow and erupt into blazing protests revolution and war. The authors also reflect the melancholy archetype of the Western hero (and his deconstruction) against the very different heroic ethos of the Japanese antipodes. More powerful than rage they argue is wit as displayed in the work of Japanese master painter Katsushika Hokusai. In this volume Baselitz repeatedly draws an image of Hokusai depicting him with an outstretched finger as if pointing towards Europe in a mixture of rage wrath irony and laughter all - too - fleetingly evident in his expression. A unique collaboration between two of the world's leading intellectuals World - Changing Rage will leave every reader with a deeper appreciation of the human condition.
