Norbert Tadeusz (*1940) studied with Joseph Beuys in the sixties and is now one of those contemporary German artists to have, over decades, steadfastly continued to produce figurative, object-oriented images. Even in his drawings, the predominant subjects are the familiar and the everyday, the presence of the—predominantly female—body in all of its sensual dimensions. Tadeusz’s obsession, as it were, is the body exposed to space. The sensual quality of his drawings comes from an immediate sense of vividness, which goes hand in hand with his clear perception of the efficiency of space.Many works on paper by this artist were donated by a private collector to the Staatliche Graphische Sammlung in Munich and the Kupferstichkabinett in Dresden . This publication documents these collections and testifies to the individuality of Tadeusz’s creativity in this medium. Exhibition schedule: Staatliche Graphische Sammlung München, May 6–August 29, 2010 | Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, Kupferstich-Kabinett, Spring 2011
