Two modern renaissance men pay homage to the medieval tale of Parsifal

From Wolfram von Eschenbach's epic of chivalry to Richard Wagner's opera, from the knight as fool to the fool as savior, the story of Parsifal has struck deep chords with artists over the centuries.

In this collaboration, Georg Baselitz's studies for a 2018 production of Parsifal at the Munich State Opera (2018) are paired with Alexander Kluge's responses to Baselitz's drawings, through stories in which he filters out individual elements from Eschenbach's epic, such as Parsifal's native wit or the figure of the Knight of the Cheerful Countenance.

The result is an ongoing communication conducted over long periods of time: aspects of the Middle Ages can be found in the present. The volume concludes with Tristan Marquardt's text "Excerpts from a Parsifal Lexicon," which shows how far our contemporary language has diverged from Eschenbach's in terms of meaning and sound.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Zwischen Wolfram von Eschenbachs Ritterepos und Richard Wagners Oper spannt sich das Motivfeld von �Parsifal� auf: der Ritter als Narr, der Narr als Erl�ser. Die Zeichnungen von Georg Baselitz sind Studien f�r eine Parsifal-Inszenierung an der Staatsoper M�nchen (2018). Sie zeigen wie der K�nstler seine Motive einkreist und eine Figur visuell herausarbeitet. Alexander Kluge antwortet in dem gemeinsamen Buch auf die Zeichnungen von Baselitz mit Geschichten, in denen er einzelne Motivpartikel aus Eschenbachs Epos - den Mutterwitz, die Figur des Ritters von der fr�hlichen Gestalt -, herausfiltert. So entsteht eine Kommunikation �ber gro�e Zeitr�ume; Momente des Mittelalters finden sich in der Gegenwart wieder. Den Band beschlie�t Tristan Marquardts Text �Ausz�ge eines Parzival-Lexikons�. Er zeigt in der Metamorphose der Worte, wie weit sich unsere heutige Sprache in Wortbedeutung und -klang von der Eschenbachs entfernt hat. Georg Baselitz (geb. 1938 in Deutschbaselitz), Maler, Bildhauer und Grafiker.Alexander Kluge (geb. 1932 in Halberstadt), Drehbuchautor, Film- und Fernsehproduzent, Schriftsteller, Philosoph und einer der einflussreichsten Vertreter des Neuen Deutschen Films.Tristan Marquardt (geb. 1987 in G�ttingen), Lyriker und germanistischer Medi�vist. Parsifal's motivic world ranges from Wolfram von Eschenbach's epic of chivalry to Richard Wagner's opera: from the knight as fool to the fool as saviour. The drawings by Georg Baselitz are studies for a production of Parsifal at the Munich State Opera (2018). They show how the artist zeroes in on his motifs and elaborates a character visually. In this collaborative book, Alexander Kluge responds to Baselitz's drawings with stories in which he filters out individual elements from Eschenbach's epic, such as Parsifal's native wit or the figure of the Knight of the Cheerful Countenance. The result is an ongoing communication conducted over long periods of time: aspects of the Middle Ages can be found in the present. The volume concludes with Tristan Marquardt's text 'Excerpts from a Parsifal Lexicon'. By examining the metamorphosis of words, he shows how far our contemporary language has diverged from Eschenbach's in terms of meaning and sound. Georg Baselitz (b.1938 in Deutschbaselitz) is a painter, sculptor, and graphic artist.Alexander Kluge (b.1932 in Halberstadt) is a screenwriter, film and TV producer, writer, philosopher, and one of the most influential exponents of New German Cinema.Tristan Marquardt (b.1987 in G�ttingen) is a poet and scholar of Medieval German.
