Some Heads - Hardcover
by Max Neumann (Author), Hubertus Von Amelunxen (Author), Tess Lewis (Translator)
A beautifully produced volume featuring the work of a major German artist.
While a face may be considered a head, a head does not necessarily carry a face. Between 2015 and 2017, German artist Max Neuman, known for painting anonymous figures, drew a series of heads. Each head is a moment, each facing the viewer as if looking into a crowd, each distinguishable from the other. Who are they? May we call them portraits? Do they look back? Do they resemble spirits? Some Heads reproduces these haunting drawings along with an essay by cultural theorist and curator Hubertus von Amelunxen that questions the heads and faces while dwelling upon the effacement of individuality.Max Neumann is a German artist whose works are part of numerous public and private collections such as Neue Nationalgalerie, Hamburger Kunsthalle, Fondation Maeght, and Seibu Museum of Art. Hubertus von Amelunxen is a cultural theorist, historian, and curator. He is the director of the Archivio Conz in Berlin. Tess Lewis is a translator French and German, including Philippe Jaccottet's Obscurity.
