Dirk Reinartz
Portraits I Künstlerportraits
As part of a series of exhibitions in honor of Dirk Reinartz, Galerie m Bochum is now displaying "Portraits I Artist Portraits" by the photographer. Dirk Reinartz took pictures of many artists during the 1980s and early 90s. He succeeded at creating vivid portraits that capture the person and his or her work at once earnestly, sensitively and with humor. With his attentive yet casual manner, Reinartz summoned moments of closeness with his sitters. Artists such as Joseph Beuys, Hans Hartung, Emil Schumacher or Meret Oppenheim are shown in intimate close-ups, gazing confidently into the camera while still preserving their secrets.
The photographs were commissioned by Art magazine. The first book, with 114 Artist Portraits, was published in 1992 by Steidl Verlag.
