His major motifs are figures and landscapes, which he translates to canvas in his characteristically elaborate, time-consuming process. The artist’s production process can take months, even years, since he works without any kind of reproduction technology. Employing a kind of intaglio technique, he transforms his source material into various media, such as woodcuts, prints, and paintings. In contrast to the hyperrealist paintings, the prints have an abstract, alien look. Through exemplary works whose technical perfection goes far beyond photorealism, the catalogue provides extensive insight into the artist’s world.\u003c?xml:namespace prefix = \"o\" ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003cSPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003eExhibition schedule: Museum Frieder Burda, Baden-Baden, October 26, 2013–February 16, 2014\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/P\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44874863378696,"sku":"9783775736725","price":29.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775736725_1009209a-e832-4180-98dc-7a5cf3736e51.jpg?v=1744064827"},{"product_id":"15448-franz-gertsch","title":"Franz Gertsch","description":"\u003cp\u003eFranz Gertsch, who was born in 1930, is considered one of the most important contemporary Swiss artists, and along with Chuck Close, the most significant of the Photo- or Hyperrealists.
