MARTIN NOËL - ACHIM GNANN CONSTANZE MALISSA COR...

The German painter  draftsman  and graphic artist Martin Noël (b. Berlin  1956  d. Bonn  2010)
played a leading role in reviving the linocut and the woodcut  two techniques that had long
been eclipsed by other media. In his large-format works on paper  he staked out a widely
regarded and distinctive position in contemporary art. Released on occasion of the
retrospective of his oeuvre at the Albertina  Vienna  this book presents an overview of the
most important periods in the artist's creative evolution  with an emphasis on the woodcut
carved into the printing plate and the woodblock's subsequent emancipation as an art object in
its own right. Particular attention is paid to the application of ink to the surface and its
painterly structure as well as the picture's migration from object to canvas. The resulting
paintings are exemplary of Noël's late oeuvre.Martin Noël studied graphic art and painting at
what is now the Cologne University of Arts and Sciences. His art garnered numerous prizes and
other honors  including fellowships from Kunststiftung NRW  Stiftung Kunstfonds  and Letter
Stiftung.
