German Artist Georg Baselitz
The artist’s most recognizable painting style and technique are the inverted abstract figures in his paintings, which he began making in 1969. At the same time, Baselitz began creating large-scale sculptural installations made of painted wood. He is a contemporary abstract painter who attempts to rehabilitate this direction of painting by introducing more recognizable figures and images into the subjects of his works. Baselitz uses a deliberately rough style, reminiscent in his technique of some psychological cubist works by George Condo, but differing from the latter in a distinctly expressionist way.
Georg had his first solo exhibition in 1963, and his work “Die große Nacht im Graben” caused controversial criticism and the German artist was accused of creative indecency. Currently, this unusual painting is in the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, Germany.
