Some Heads (Hardcover)
Max Neumann, Hubertus Von Amelunxen, Tess Lewis

Ships in 9 - 15 working days

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. Â

In this thrilling chase narrative, a hunted being escapes certain
death at breakneck speed-careening through Europe, heading blindly
South. Faster and faster, escaping the assassins, our protagonist
flies forward, blending into crowds, adjusting to terrains, hopping
on and off ferries, always desperately trying to stay a step ahead
of certain death: the past did not exist, only what was current
existed-a prisoner of the instant, rushing into this instant, an
instant that had no continuation ... Krasznahorkai-celebrated for
the exhilarating energy of his prose-outdoes himself in Chasing
Homer. And this unique collaboration boasts beautiful full-color
paintings by Max Neumann and-reaching out of the book proper-the
wildly percussive music of Szilveszter Miklos scored for each
chapter (to be accessed by the reader via QR codes).

For nearly half a century, German artist Max Neumann has worked to
create, hone, and elaborate a visual vocabulary that is dark,
compulsive, and forceful. A lifelong collaborator, Neumann's
paintings have accompanied the work of Cees Nooteboom, Seamus
Heaney, Fernando Pessoa, and Laszlo Krasznahorkai, among many
others. In Poetry and Time, Neumann's haunting images are
accompanied by a lyrical and penetrating text from poet Joachim
Sartorius, who notes that a certain silence is at the very heart of
poems, stating: "They know what it is they do, but do not say it."
Exploring this mystery, he considers examples from Dickinson,
Rilke, and Shakespeare, among others, and examines the realities of
transience and mortality at the center of poems' reasons for being,
their urge to form their own reality and abolish time while being
inextricably bound to time. Sartorius's ruminations beautifully
complement Neumann's series of thirty poignant paintings, making
this volume is an extraordinarily rare and exquisite book.
Cees Nooteboom, best known for his novel The Following Story,is one
of the most distinguished and significant authors living in the
Netherlands today. Self-Portrait of an Other is one of the most
unique and innovative works in his oeuvre. Written in response to
and published together with a series of drawings by the
Berlin-based artist Max Neumann, the book draws on Nooteboom's
personal reflections--his arsenal of memories, dreams, fantasies,
landscapes, stories and nightmares--and presents a set of prose
poems that complements and echoes Neumann's work. Full of striking
scenes and disturbing images, the poems, driven by the logic of
dreams, create the self-portrait of the title.
