Grüsse Gott! – neige internelle
This work by Marcel Broodthaers combines linguistic and visual elements characteristic of his conceptual practice, layering the German greeting "Grüsse Gott" with the French phrase "neige internelle" (internal snow) in ink on paper. The piece exemplifies Broodthaers' interest in language as material and meaning, where the interplay between different languages creates semantic ambiguity and invites viewers to consider how words function both as communication and as visual form. Created during the artist's exploration of poetry and conceptual art in the 1960s and beyond, the work reflects his broader project of interrogating the relationship between linguistic and artistic expression.
