Charles Bach,
“Male nude in classic pose, after Jean Grandjean”
(c. 1765 – 1781)
This adaptation of a drawing by Jean Grandjean creates a lively and colourful work that enriches any interior thanks to its enlargement and the wonderful cobalt blue. We recommend framing with a particularly narrow profile. A very modern and completely frameless alternative would be the printing on acrylic glass. Acrylic glass prints are supplied with an aluminium hanging system that is invisible behind the print.
In Bach’s own words: “The drawings by Jean Grandjean (1752-1781) fascinate through their almost photographically realistic detail. Grandjean’s depictions of male nudes testify to an obvious and obsessive devotion to the male body. Despite their idealised forms, in some of these works by Grandjean I feel an unusually strong connection with the portrayed real person from the 18th century, similar to the sensation of looking at a photograph. This is specifically the case in this particular image. These drawings have captivated me, and I want to give these works a new life as contemporary artworks through the adaptations.”
Charles Bach is a Berlin-based artist who works with digital image processing and photomontage. His works frequently revolve around museum culture, art, and cultural themes. He often uses visual material from the pre-modern era and reworks it – sometimes more, sometimes less. His declared mission is to make both the craft and the often metaphorical subject matter of ‘old’ art accessible to a new audience.
