About the Book
The publication for the intergenerational group exhibition - the birth years of the artists rank between 1958 and 1982 - shows figurative painting Leipzig Style as well as the development of abstraction out of it. It is now known, that Leipzig painting is not only male - however, it is often understood to be typically figurative. In "Fremde Mächte - Malerei aus Leipzig" not only the female side is getting stronger, this further prejudice is also cleared up. In addition to well-known representatives of the figurative Leipzig Style such as Rosa Loy and Katrin Brause a.k.a. Heichel, the Museum Franz Gertsch also shows positions between object and abstraction and provides a platform for purely abstract forms, such as the works of Henriette Grahnert and Franziska Holstein. Katrin Brause a.k.a. Heichel (* 1972), Henriette Grahnert (* 1977), Franziska Holstein (* 1978), Rosa Loy (* 1958), Claudia Roessger (* 1977), Julia Schmidt (* 1976), Kristina Schuldt (* 1982), Miriam Vlaming (* 1971)
