SCULPTURE OF KAI WOLTER > ANATOMIA

Francis “Bacon often remarked that he attached the greatest importance to the scream. In his work it has a primal quality; it bears witness to unbearable pain and yearning for salvation. It is the fulfillment of a destiny. It is the scream that releases the unbearable tension of the picture. In a world of stasis the scream is a manifestation of vitality and humanity. It is the first sign of life on entering the world, and though it may also be linked with death, the association with birth is always present. ….the scream is a cry for space.” -Wieland Schmeid
