Axel Geis (b. 1970, Limburg an der Lahn; lives and works in Berlin, Germany) is a figurative painter celebrated for the extraordinary intimacy of his works. Geis creates his pieces from reproductions such as film stills, photographs, and images sourced online.
To the right of the dressing table, which was draped in a black cloth, sat Mümmla’s daughter. She wore a tulle skirt and a wreath of paper flowers around her bun. For a while, she gazed with interest at the audience sitting in their boats below the stage, then began quickly and unaffectedly: “If I die tonight, though my innocent heart cries out to heaven, the sea shall turn to blood and the blooming fields to ash. Lovely as a rose, with a tender, youthful form, a cruel fate mows me down, savage and furious.” Suddenly, Emma’s shrill voice rang out from the wings:
“Night of fate,
Night of fate,
Night of fate!”
