Swiss artist Franz Gertsch, born 1930, is one of the most important
exponents of photorealism worldwide. Yet unlike many of his fellow
artists, he takes liberties when translating a photograph into one
of his large-format paintings or prints, thus animating his
depictions of human faces or landscapes. Ruschegg, created in 1988,
represents a landmark in Gertsch's oeuvre. It is both his first
attempt in woodcut for a landscape, and his first large-format work
in that genre. Abandoning painting for nearly a decade as of 1986,
he developed a special woodcut technique. Having worked in
portraiture almost exclusively for many years, Gertsch now begins
his exploration of nature. Starting from a view of his garden in
the Swiss village of Ruschegg, Gertsch singles out some of its
elements, such as a footpath, rocks, shrubs and trees, grass and
leaves, taking them as individual motifs first for woodcuts and
later for monumental 'portraits' of such pieces of nature. Thus,
Ruschegg also stands for Gertsch's movement away from the
representation of humans to that of nature, just as it links his
later work with the landscape studies of his early years. Text in
English and German.
