GEROG BASELITZ MILESTONES

This book focuses on the over 60-year career of German painter, printmaker and sculptor Georg Baselitz (born 1938), a pioneering postwar artist who rejected abstraction in favor of recognizable subject matter, deliberately employing a raw style of rendering and a heightened palette in order to convey direct emotion. Embracing the German Expressionism that had been denounced by the Nazis, Baselitz returned the human figure to a central position in painting.
