Lapo

Drawing book with 304 black-and-white and 32 color illustrations in offset print, designed by Maria Magdalena Koehn and Andrej Loll Softcover, 336 pages, 21x29,5 cm Edition 700 Published 05/2010 ISBN 978-3-941601-32-1 Matthias Weischer (born 1973) is one of the most important painters of his generation. LAPO provides a glimpse into his extensive body of drawings up to 2005, dispensing with framing, predetermined interpretation, title information, or further dates in favor of artistic power. It shows Weischer before his Villa Massimo residency-not the humble draftsman before nature, but the furious inventor and idea thief. More Kippenberger than age-wise David Hockney.
