Pie Fight Interior 11
2014
Adrian Ghenie uses archive images and frames from films to construct his paintings. Marked by the Romanian Revolution of 1989, he is interested as an artist in the representation of public figures such as Nicolae Ceaușescu, whom he pictured at his trial. In Pie Fight Interior 11, the woman with a pie in her face is drawn from a film by American vaudeville act The Three Stooges, while the setting is based on a postcard of Adolf Hitler’s Reich Chancellery, completed in 1939. The image is scarred by brushstrokes, like the scratches on an old film.
