Morgendunst und Rechteck-Land

Uwe Pfeifer's essential socio-critical paintings over a half-century of German reality, ranging from the newly factual to the fantastic, have sometimes caused heated public debates. Paintings such as Feierabend, Abgerissener Drache, a compendium of Halle-Neustadt's prefab facades, Zivilisationskopf and the various bizarre daydreams have become unmasking metaphors of their time and in the national consciousness. Manfred Jendryschik accompanies and questions these unique (art) realities in his poetic, often ironic prose miniatures.
