Per Kirkeby : Paintings and DrawingsTools Posner, Helaine. Per Kirkeby : Paintings and Drawings. Cambridge, MA: MIT List Visual Arts Center, 1991.
Abstract (English)Posner defines Kirkeby's paintings and drawings of the 1980s as gestural abstractions rooted in northern European landscape. Formally and biographically, she embeds his work in an art-historical context going from German romanticism, 19th Century Scandinavian landscape painting, and abstract expressionism to contemporary neo-expressionism, passing by way of his work in performance and film. Biographical notes. 23 bibl. ref
