Alexander Kluge is one of the major German fiction writers of the late twentieth century and an important social critic.
Since 1969, he paints his subjects upside down in an effort to overcome the representational, content-driven character of his earlier work and stress the artifice of painting.
In the 1960s, he became well known for his figurative, expressive paintings.
About the Author Georg Baselitz is one of the world\'s most significant painters, sculptors and graphic artists.
A unique collaboration between two of the world\'s leading intellectuals, World-Changing Rage will leave every reader with a deeper appreciation of the human condition.
In this volume, Baselitz repeatedly draws an image of Hokusai, depicting him with an outstretched finger, as if pointing towards Europe in a mixture of rage, wrath, irony, and laughter, all-too-fleetingly evident in his expression.
More powerful than rage, they argue, is wit, as displayed in the work of Japanese master painter Katsushika Hokusai.
The authors also reflect the melancholy archetype of the Western hero (and his deconstruction) against the very different heroic ethos of the Japanese antipodes.
In this book, Baselitz and Kluge explore the dynamism of rage and its potential to rapidly grow and erupt into blazing protests, revolution, and war.
The long history of humankind is also a history of rage, fury, wrath.
In World-Changing Rage, these two accomplished German creators explore links and fractures between two cultures through two media: ink and watercolour on paper, and the written word.
