Das Politische schneiden
In the organizer's words:
The Peasants' War was more than just a subject for HAP Grieshaber: "that is my existence, that is the existence of the people."
Grieshaber saw himself as a 'homme engagé', closely connected to the peasant uprising through his origins and concerns. Fifty years ago, the lack of interest in the anniversary of the Peasants' War in West Germany was an annoyance to him, which became an artistic act with the Peasants' War Angel and the portfolio Dran dran weil ir tag habt.
Grieshaber's intensive preoccupation with the subject began in the early 1960s. In 1963, he created the large-format woodcut diptych Peasants' War, the printing blocks of which, together with the woodcut of the black plate, Grieshaber implemented in the ten-part documenta wall in 1964. The work subsequently became private property.
The exhibition Cutting the Political. HAP Grieshaber and the Peasants' War in the Spendhaus now offers the first opportunity in over sixty years to see these 240 cm high Peasants' War works outside Erkersreuth Castle. For the first time, they are presented together with woodcuts, portfolios, letters, posters and maquettes in the context of Grieshaber's engagement with the subject of the Peasants' War.
