Kitaj used the Academy's Summer Exhibition to showcase this sequence of works that dealt with the events of the " War" and Sandra's death and even included a graffiti inscription stating 'The Critic Kills'.

It was a frenzy of activity that continued until events took a far bleaker turn with the sudden death of Sandra while Kitaj himself was away in America at the bedside of his mother who was also terminally sick. In the months that followed, Kitaj's grief and anger took on an epic quality. There was little comfort for him and no way of talking him out of it really. These included his long-time confidant Philip Roth , who, it seems, partly based the outrageous character of Mickey Sabbath, in his incandescent novel Sabbath's Theater , on the grief-stricken Kitaj — the book is told in the voice of a furious and confessional puppeteer driven mad by vividly sexual dreams of his lost lover, tortured by a fear of impotence and oblivion, by turns contemplating suicide and raging against the dying of the light. Richard Morphet, who curated the Tate show, still talks with a degree of incredulity and shock at how events drove Kitaj to this kind of state. As a result, Morphet recalls, "I felt the jolt of it almost as much as him, I think. When we went to bed after the party there was this sense of pleasure that he was getting his due for all of that, and then the following morning this extraordinary cascade of vitriol began The reviews, which seemed to grow in ferocity from a fairly hysterical start, went on for several days. It was in a way a nasty accident they all expressed it at the same time. When Morphet spoke to Kitaj in the days following the show he was "sort of disgusted really, very distressed. He never said it but I think this exhibition was what he had always wanted and worked towards his whole life. And the extremity of the outburst against it was as if to say: this is not valid. His whole raison d'etre was trashed. The main reason for the critics' damning verdict on the show, Morphet believes, was what was seen by one as Kitaj's "pseudo-intellectual bullshit". Kitaj was an eclectic reader and claimed literary inspiration for much of his work from writers ranging from TS Eliot to Franz Kafka to Walter Benjamin. He self-consciously rooted himself in an outsider's tradition, of Jewish intellectualism, equally obsessed with language and image. At the suggestion of , the Tate director, Kitaj sought to reflect some of this erudition in extended captions to his paintings that explained their inspiration and genesis. To many of the critics, who saw Kitaj invading their space, telling them what to think, this appeared to be fighting talk. Andrew Graham-Dixon in the Independent called him an " inveterate name-dropper Kitaj turns out, instead, to be the Wizard of Oz: a small man with a megaphone held to his lips. There was a great deal more in this vein. Protest as they might, critics like nothing more than giving perceived pretension a sound kicking, in the belief that it lends their own somewhat esoteric calling a grounded, street-fighting quality. Kitaj, the subtext went, had been asking for it with his captions, and got what was coming to him. Morphet was staggered by this personal aggression. The critics seemed to object to the prominence he gave in his work to his own ideas and personality Rereading those critical pieces now, it does seem, as Morphet argues, that collectively "some line had been crossed". It was certainly a moment, in any case, when the critics decided to judge the man as much as his work, and both were found wanting. By the standards of our own free-for-all of vicious anonymous blogging and comment, the savaging of Kitaj's reputation does not seem particularly extreme — but you could certainly make an argument for it being years ahead of its time, a taste of bile to come. The boundary-breaking was led by Brian Sewell in London's Evening Standard , who, under a heading "Tales half-told in the name of vanity" had — given his own bearing — the nerve to conclude that Kitaj was "a vain painter puffed with amour propre, unworthy of a footnote in the history of figurative art". Tim Hilton, also in the Independent , kicked off with the observation that "Ron Kitaj is an egotist, at his best in interviews…" And on it went. Sandy Wilson, having written to his friend at the show's opening to exclaim about the fact he was "able to create what William Blake called 'Emanations'! One finds in this early work the features that were to characterize Kitaj's lifelong preoccupation with the human experience and history; what one might be inclined to call a figurative-intellectualism. The title Erasmus Variations or Desiderius Erasmus refers by name to the Dutch scholar Erasmus whose absent-minded sketches, or doodles, were re discovered by Kitaj while visiting Oxford. Kitaj had recognized the sketches as a precursor of the automatic drawing technique that was to become a linchpin of Surrealism and one can easily recognize this automatic technique in this painting. However, Kitaj also pays homage here to another Dutchman, Willem de Kooning, who he grew to admire while staying in New York; as Kitaj put it: "de Kooning's surreal-automatic 'Women' were my favorite action paintings of the School of New York [ Indeed, though de Kooning is grouped with the leading Abstract Expressionists, his paintings appealed to Kitaj because his work retained a commitment to figuration. We find the culmination of the 'Dutch effects' in the way that Kitaj's canvas is roughly divided into nine squares in a three-by-three grid. Each grid has the rough outline of a face, save the square at the center with two faces, and the lower left square which features a bouquet of flowers. The gestural spirit of artistic freedom is revealed in the way Kitaj's vibrant color contrasts bleed across the edges of their respective boxes, in the expressive drips and smears of paint, and in the dramatic sweep of Kitaj's brushstrokes. Created while Kitaj was still a student in England, 'The Murder of Rosa Luxemburg' is characteristic of the artist's lifelong concern with the theme of human experience and injustice, typically as it related to Jewish history. Indeed, though he considered the painting to be largely unsuccessful, Kitaj acknowledged in that "at least some of the terms of its genesis, terms which really interested me" were still in evidence some "20 years later". As its title suggests, his collage was inspired, in part at least, by the story of Rosa Luxemburg, a Russian-Polish Jew, and founder of the anti- bourgeois Spartacus League, who was assassinated in Germany in for her revolutionary socialist politics. However, while Kitaj described this "artless painting" - when compared to vigorous color schemes he employed in paintings dating from the same period, one is immediately struck by a toneless desolation perfectly fitting, perhaps, for the grey subject matter - as his "first political picture" that was not because he specifically "identified with [Luxemburg's] revolution or its failure ". What Kitaj called his "other, oblique reasons" related to the personal narratives of persecution as experienced by his Jewish grandmothers which had effectively brought about their flight from Europe to America. Notwithstanding Kitaj's dour color palette, formally, the image shows elements that would characterize his work throughout his career. We see for instance painted and drawn figures that take their place alongside abstract shapes and found images including the statue in the upper right and the obelisk in the lower left. Meanwhile, the collage's allusions to political history, revealed in written text telling of Luxemburg's fate, is pasted to the top right of the frame. While Kitaj is best known for his paintings, he was also recognized for the breadth and quality of his drawings and prints. For these prints, he chose books that ranged in subject from history, to mythology, to the one pictured above for his friend, Mark Rothko. As a whole, Kitaj's portfolio elucidates the breadth of the artistic interests and motivations. Catherine Bindman of Art in Print wrote that the prints showed "his predilection The screenprints speak to the artist's mastery of the graphic medium, with the covers reproduced through a veracity of both color and texture. This body of work helped consolidate Kitaj's place in as a painter and also as a talented draughtsman and printmaker. Content compiled and written by Ximena Kilroe.
