Georg Baselitz

Georg Baselitz (born January 23, 1938, in Deutschbaselitz, Germany) is a German painter and sculptor. He is best known for his "inverted figures," which are painted upside down. This technique, along with his use of thick paint and gestural brushstrokes, creates a sense of disorientation and ambiguity in his work. The subject matter in Baselitz's paintings is often derived from his own experiences and observations, exploring themes of identity, history, and memory. His paintings are characterized by a raw and expressive style, which reflects his profound engagement with German art history and his unique vision of the world.
