About The Artwork

It was 1945 and Hitler had a very nice day. He was wearing – in an unobserved moment - his “body-count-underwear-of-the-day” and was feeling pretty good. Then Jonathan (Meese) comes along and asked Hitler: "How can I make real art in germany"? Hitler smiled: “That’s easy, create a scandal – show me in my body count underwear, that’s already a scandal in Germany”. But Jonathan shrinks and answered: “No, that’s a little too heavy I think, but I have an idea. I simply show your Hitlergruss”. Hitler sead: Great – better than nothing! And Jonanthan got his scandal – gave many artist interviews - and the rest of his life he was a real german artist… Es war 1945 und Hitler trug gerade - in einem unbeobachteten Moment – seine Lieblingsunterhose, „die Getöteten des Tages“ und fühlte sich ziemlich gut. Da kam Jonathan um die Ecke und fragte Hitler, wie kann ich eigentlich richtig gute Deutsche Kunst machen? „Das ist einfach, verursache einen Skandal – zeig doch einfach mich, das ist bereits ein Skandal in Deutschland“. Aber Jonathan schreckte zurück und antwortete: „Das ist mir zu heftig, aber ich habe eine Idee. Ich zeige deinen Gruss, den Hitlergruss“. Hitler antwortete: Sehr gut – besser als nichts! Und Jonathan bekam seinen Skandal – gab eine Vielzahl von Interviews - und für den Rest seines Lebens wurde er ein echter deutscher Künstler… Hitler lehrt Jonathan den Skandal Hitler teached Jonathan the scandal (2016) oil on canvas 19.7 x 27.6 inch 50 x 70 cm Antideterministic art www.eckhard-besuden.de

Besuden is painting antideterministic art. For the first time at the beginning of the new century (2005) in London the question is raised, whether deterministic attributes of modern painting (new, authentic, antidecorative, scandalous) must be fundamentally reconsidered. In 2009 the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung published a report about the Transition Gallery in London, and their new appreciation of art under the heading: 'we need more dilettantes'. In this case the scandal is not intended to create a better saleability. Art musnt be no longer new, authentic, anti-decorative to be serious art. The anti-deterministic artist is allowed to paint old, anti-authentic, decorative but in a new dogmatical style. With every peace of art, corresponding with the above mentioned characteristics, the artists turns against the dictate of the ruling dogmatics. He is pursuing art policy by intentionally ignoring the quality requirements of the first art market and thus he regains absolute artistic freedom. www.eckhard-besuden.de
