Quote from Parkett
“In Baselitz’s work, sculpture and painting represent two forms of what might be called his ‘opinione contraria,’ to cite Vasari’s Mannerist expression in referring to Rosso. It signifies the opposition and commitment involved in freeing expression and exposing the aggression of structure.”
