Published in 2019 on the occasion of the exhibition Georg Baselitz: Devotion at Gagosian, New York, this catalogue includes new paintings and works on paper. The works—initially inspired by Henri Rousseau's La Muse inspiring le poet (Marie Laurencin et Guillaume Apollinaire) (The Muse Inspires the Poet [Marie Laurencin et Guillaume Apollinaire]) (1909)—are portraits of other artists displayed in the artist's acclaimed upside down method. A text by Baselitz gives the reader a look inside his process for the series, and an essay by Morgan Falconer completes the catalogue with a contextualisation of the series within Expressionism, portraiture, and the progression of the artist's practice.
