5 Köpfe
1979
"5 Köpfe" (Five Heads) by Georg Baselitz is a multi-part work executed in gouache, ink, charcoal, and graphite on paper that exemplifies the artist's expressionistic approach to figuration. The five-part composition presents a series of schematic head studies rendered in gestural marks and bold media combinations, reflecting Baselitz's characteristic interest in deconstructing and reimagining the human form. Created during a period of significant experimentation in his practice, the work demonstrates his exploration of raw, emotionally charged mark-making that prioritizes expressive content over representational accuracy.
