Artists in conversation
Kiefer Anselm
German · b. 1945
Anselm Kiefer works extensively with charcoal and heavy tonal contrasts to create monumental figurative and expressive works on paper, sharing Yan Pei-Ming's raw physicality and gestural intensity in mark making.
Leon Golub
American · b. 1922
Golub pursued unflinching figurative work with aggressive tonal contrasts and a confrontational rawness that closely parallels Yan Pei-Ming's approach to charcoal figuration and expressive power.
Georg Baselitz
German · b. 1938
Baselitz creates bold figurative drawings in charcoal with a similarly intense and gestural approach to the human form, embracing expressive distortion and strong value contrasts that align closely with this 1991 work.
