Der amerikanische Künstler R. B. Kitaj war in den 1960er-Jahren einer der Wegbereiter einer neuen figürlichen Kunst, gemeinsam mit seinen Künstlerfreunden Frank Auerbach, Lucian Freud und Leon Kossoff. Zehn Jahre später, seit Mitte der 1970er-Jahre, positionierte sich Kitaj als jüdischer Künstler und verstand sich als Initiator einer jüdischen Kunst der Moderne. Diesen Aspekt im Gesamtwerk Kitajs gilt es in seiner Bedeutung neu zu entdecken. Charakteristisch für das gesamte Werk sind eine starke Farbigkeit und ein Reichtum an Motiven und Bildzitaten, der die Gemälde rätselhaft erscheinen lässt.

Together with his artist friends Frank Auerbach, Lucian Freud and Leon Kossoff, the American artist R.B. Kitaj was one of the pioneers of a new type of figurative art in the 1960s. Ten years later, in the mid-1970s, Kitaj positioned himself as a Jewish artist and saw himself as an instigator of a modern Jewish art movement.

Bartley, Tracy et al. R.B. KITAJ: Obsessions, 1932-2007. 264 pages, including 203 color, 65 b&w plates and 5 gatefolds. 4to, boards. Bielefeld, Kerber Verlag, 2013. This catalogue, created for a show at the Jewish Musem in Berlin, does not conform to conventional expectations of a retrospective, at least not where the text is concerned. What you can expect from this book, and get in spades, is a beautifully printed, fabulously illustrated visual survey of Kitaj's career, presented chronologically. His work has not been given this kind of attention in many years, and it is long overdue. There is no general introduction to the artist or his career to orient the reader. The first essay (keep looking, it's on page 83), dives right into the role and meaning of diaspora in Kitaj's work-Walter Benjamin features prominently. Subsequent essays expand on Kitaj's work in the context of his Jewish identity and history. One essay, written by the assistent who worked for him during the last 10 years of his life, provides a more personal perspective. There are several full-page photographs of the artist, but they are undated and without captions. They leave a lingering sense of mystery, which is probably what he would have wanted.
