Specialist note

“Baselitz’s art is a subtle search for truth, it is the painstaking analysis of a pictorial language and its formal motions, it also abandons itself to the emotion of an image that is to be discovered and succumbs to a mysterious enchantment.”
 
Danilo Eccher quote in ‘Georg Baselitz: in Praise of Painting,” Baselitz, Galleria d’Arte Moderna di Bologna, Bologna, 1997, p. 39.
