"To me the monkey is and has always been an alter ego, symbolizing the ambivalence of an artist’s existence, convictions and self-doubt ” (quoted after the exhibition catalogue Jörg Immendorff. Male Lago, published by Anette Hüsch/Peter-Klaus Schuster, Cologne 2005, no page). The sympathetic animal has been appearing in his works since 1985 and has become the artist‘s representative and trade mark. To Immendorff the monkey is the allegory for the unattainability of divine creation, which the artist can merely “monkey“ in his works. Some 18 monkey bronzes called “Painter Tribe“ are made between 2002 and 2006. Some monkeys from this series refer to the work of other artists from past or today. [SM].
