Norbert Prangenberg

Description:

Norbert Prangenberg, known primarily as a painter and sculptor, also works time and again in the realm of prints: "Winterreise" presents a group of works featuring 24 linoleum cuts based on Franz Schubert's song cycle of the same name, in turn based on Wilhelm Müller's words. Prangenberg's works in this exhibition display great affinity with literature, both contemporary and historical, and to the art of the Romantic period. However, Prangenberg himself never takes a narrative perspective in his approach: he approaches Schubert's songs with a consistently diverse and wonderfully lyrical vocabulary of abstract forms and symbols that he has developed over the years.0Exhibition: Städtisches Kunstmuseum Spendhaus Reutlingen, Germany (20.10.2012-13.1.2013) / Museum Goch, Germany (2013).
