Research Paper On Claude Masquer

Claude Pasquer, born in 1937 in Le Mans, is a French artist associated with the movement of Concrete Art. The compositions of Pasquer are always ordered by mathematical proportions and limited colouring, consequently resembling a sound notation or technical diagrams. The artist manifested his interests in abstract art since the 60s, especially immersing himself in the work of Max Bill and Swiss Concrete Art. However, his work did not come to wider recognition until the 2000s, with his work exhibited by institutions such as the Maison de la Culture in Bourges (2004), Mondriaanhuis in Amersfoort, Forum Konkret in Erfurt (both 2006), Kunsthaus Rehau (2008). Today, his work is featured in numerous international collections, such as the Museum of

Studying under HAP Grieshaber and Herbert Kitzel, Krieg obtained his education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe (1958-62), where he lectured a decade later (1972). The 60s came out to be a decisive period for his artistic development and recognition, marked by several accolades and a number of individual exhibitions, starting with the Kunstverein in Karlsruhe (1966) and Galerie Der Spiegel in Cologne (1967, 1968, and later). However, the apex of his career was yet to come. Following the Documenta in Kassel (1977), the artist represented Germany at the Venice Biennale, contributing to the national pavilion (1978), and the same year, he started to lecture at the Art Academy in Düsseldorf (through 2002); some of his students include prolific artists such as Johannes Hüppi, Cornelius Völker, Arno Bojak, and Matthias Meyer, among others. Most recently, his work has been exhibited at the Museum of Current Art in Durbach (2012), China Art Museum in Shanghai, Kunstmuseum in Stuttgart (both 2014), and the Kunsthalle Gießen

In his oeuvre, primarily oil on canvas, but also pinhole photography, Kluge has set himself against the legacy of expressionism, neo-expressionism, and the New Figuration tendencies. Between 1968 and 1972, he completed his education at the University of Fine Arts in Hamburg under Gotthard Graubner and Kai Sudeck. Later on, following his debut shows at the Produzentengalerie in Hamburg, Kluge became widely recognized by critics and curators, since then the artist exhibited his work regularly inside and outside Germany, in venues such as the Max Lang Gallery in New York (2007), Samson Projects in Boston, Zabludowicz Collection in London (both 2008), Picasso Museum in Münster (2009), and the Museo La Rioja in Agoncillo (2013). Besides that, his teaching experience encompasses the University of Fine Arts in Hamburg (1978-85) and the Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe (from 1996), and accolades include the prestigious Edwin Scharff Prize (1988) and Käthe Kollwitz Prize
