In his talk on Roland Schauls as a portrait painter, Paul Rauchs explores the field of tension between social representation and psychological interpretation, between the painter’s art and the client’s expectations. He also examines Schauls’ artistic development, from the 504 Uffizi portraits to the portrait of the new Grand Duke — a journey that led the artist, so to speak, from the couch to the throne.
Following the talk, a discussion will take place between Paul Rauchs and Roland Schauls.
The event is organised in collaboration with The Portrait Society a.s.b.l.
The talk will be in German.
Biography of Paul Rauchs
Paul Rauchs was born on 21 April in Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg. He studied medicine in Strasbourg and completed his specialist training as a psychiatrist in Paris. Alongside his clinical work as a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, Dr Rauchs dedicates himself to the border areas of his profession and publishes on art, history, politics, and society. He has written several books and maintains an (increasingly less) regular column in the weekly newspaper D'Lëtzeburger Land, entitled Maux dits d’Yvan, in which he comments on current political and social affairs. He is the father of two children and (so far) grandfather to one grandson.
