Georg Baselitz
Auteur(s) : Richard Calvocoressi
A prolific artist with a protean output, Georg Baselitz (1938-) has rethought the conventions of a range of media, predominantly painting and sculpture, over the course of a career of some sixty years.
Expelled from art school in East Berlin in 1956 for 'socio-political immaturity', Baselitz reintroduced the figure, compromised and discredited though it was by both Nazism and Communism, into art. In alluding later to movements in German painting such as Expressionism as well as to artists like Munch, he also consciously rehabilitated the kind of art that was condemned by Hitler as 'degenerate'.
This monograph follows the development of Baselitz's unique style from his earliest work through to the most recent creations of his eighth decade.
