Ohne Titel (B. für Larry)
1968
"Ohne Titel (B. für Larry)" exemplifies Georg Baselitz's characteristic approach to figuration through its combination of charcoal and watercolour on paper, media that allow for both gestural mark making and chromatic expressivity. The work's dedication to Larry, likely referring to artist Larry Rivers, reflects Baselitz's engagement with the international art community and his interest in portraiture and abstraction simultaneously. The untitled designation combined with the personal dedication suggests a work that balances spontaneity with intentionality, typical of Baselitz's investigations into how abstraction and representation coexist in contemporary practice.
