Description

Der weite Horizont der Prärie, an dem die Sonne untergeht, galoppierende Pferde und lässige, Lassos schwingende Cowboys. Es sind diese Bilder, die dem Mythos Amerikas eine einzigartige visuelle Gestalt verleihen, ihn ebenso sicht- wie spürbar machen. Wie kaum ein anderer zeitgenössischer Fotograf hat sich Dieter Blum ( 1936 in Esslingen) mit diesem Thema auseinandergesetzt, es aktualisiert und hinterfragt. Die 60 Fotografien der Serie Cowboys, die 1992 für Marlboro entstanden sind, legen hiervon Zeugnis ab und werden in diesem Ausstellungskatalog erstmals vollständig zusammengeführt. Der klassische Topos des "Lonesome Cowboy" ist auf humorvolle Weise gebrochen und durch einen "Arbeiter" ersetzt, der im Team alltäglichen Tätigkeiten nachgeht - an der Bar steht, Zeitung liest, Wäsche wäscht, Ski fährt, ein Bad nimmt. Eine hinreißende Bildergeschichte, die Fiktion und Realität, Mythos und Wirklichkeit ineinander überführt und dekonstruiert. Ausstellung: Daimler Art Collection 30.4.-6.11.2016The wide horizon of the prairie on which the sun sets, galloping horses, and laid-back cowboys swinging lassos. These are the images that lend the myth of America visual form, make it both visible as well as palpable. Unlike hardly any other contemporary artist, the photographer Dieter Blum ( 1936 in Esslingen) has dealt with, updated, and scrutinized this subject. The sixty photographs in the series Cowboys, which were taken in 1992 for Marlboro, testify to this and are being assembled for the first time in their entirety in this exhibition catalogue. The topos of the "lonesome cowboy" is ruptured in a humorous way and replaced by a "worker" who pursues everyday activities in a team-stands at the bar, reads the newspaper, washes laundry, skies, takes a bath. An enchanting story that converts fiction into fact, myth into reality, and deconstructs them.
