SUMMARY:Symposium: R.B. Kitaj: Artist from a Fragmented World
DESCRIPTION:Symposium: R.B. Kitaj: Artist from a Fragmented World\n\nFrom the 1960s, R.B. Kitaj with his figurative style attracted the attention and appreciation of the London and the international art scene.\n\nThe first part of the symposium entitled "R.B. Kitaj and the Heroes of the Modernism" will explore his innovative artistic contribution as a draftsman, painter, and interpreter of his art.\n\nThe second part entitled "Diasporic Art - At Eye Level with Freud and Kafka" considers identity in the modern age, which became a major theme of Kitaj's life and work. In his analysis of his own "Jewishness," he derived the idea and concept of a "Jewish" art from the experience of Diasporic existence.\n\nThursday 25 October 2012\n\n3 pm: Words of Welcome\nCilly Kugelmann, Jewish Museum Berlin and Robert Kudielka, Academy of the Arts, Berlin\n     \n3 - 5.45 pm: The Artist               \nRobert Kudielka: "Going to Bed with History" - Some observations on R.B.
