MANFRED SCHNECKENBURGER (Stuttgart, Germany, 1938-Cologne, 2019).
"Adam and Eve."
Set of four watercolors on paper.
Three of them signed in the lower right corner.
Measurements: 61 x 81 cm.
The set of four watercolors on tender narrates the life of Adam and Eve with scenes in Paradise, Eve offering the apple (the forbidden fruit) to Adam and the expulsion of both from the Garden of Eden. For this, the German uses a naïve style in which vibrant colors and synthesized forms predominate.
Art historian and curator of modern and contemporary German art, Manfred Schneckenburger was curator of the Documenta art exhibition twice, Documenta 6 in 1977 and Documenta 8 in 1987. Previously, in 1972 he organized the cultural program for the Munich Olympic Games. From 1973 to 1974 he was director of the Kunsthalle Cologne. In 1990 Schneckenburger was appointed "Professor für Kunst und Öffentlichkeit" and in 1995 Rector of the Kunstakademie Münster.
