Pentimento. Making Correction Processes Visible in Classical Modernist Painting

The research project inquires into the relevance and change of meaning of genuine traces of the correction and work process through their artistic visualization in French painting around 1900 (e.g. in drawing and painting between 1900-20 by Henri Matisse).Using the principle of pentimento (layering and overlapping of marks) as an example, the preliminary thesis will be pursued that by deliberately shifting traces of the creative process, previously intended to be invisible for the most part, to the level of visibility, a horizon of tension is opened up that moves between apparent corrections and the potential of a synopsis of decision-making possibilities. By referencing the top layer of painting to the bottom (and vice versa), the original meaning of regret can be questioned and illuminated through an expanded perspective at the intersection of drawing and painting.
