Lecture with Dr. Doreen P\u00f6schl as part of the lecture series organized by the Friends and Supporters of the Moritzburg Art Museum onfemale artists<\/em>from HalleBernd G\u00f6bel (<\/em>1942) is one of the most renowned contemporary German sculptors and medalists and enjoys international recognition. As a former professor of sculpture at the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle, he helped shape the Halle school of sculpture and medal making. <\/p>\n\n G\u00f6bel uses his art as a means of communication to articulate thoughts, take a stand, and convey messages. A critical eye toward society, politics, historical narratives, and the environment is an unmistakable hallmark of his work. At the heart of G\u00f6bel\u2019s artistic practice\u2014which includes sculptures, medals, ceramics, and prints\u2014is the human being: their actions, their decisions, and the consequences of those decisions. G\u00f6bel consistently analyzes the conventional portrayal of historical and contemporary figures and themes. His works aim to stimulate discourse, challenge viewing habits, and open up new perspectives for viewers. <\/p>\n\n Which people and themes does G\u00f6bel explore? What artistic techniques does he use? How is his criticism received? This lecture will address these questions using selected works as examples. <\/p>\n\n Admission is free.<\/p>\n\n
