Georg Baselitz is a German painter, sculptor and graphic artist. He gained international fame in the 1970s with figurative, expressive paintings. Baselitz's artistic influences derive from a variety of inspirations, such as illustrations of the Soviet era, mannerist prints and African sculptures. The destruction and suffering of the Second World War have had a lasting effect on the artist. In this context, Baselitz stated in an interview: "I have been born into a destroyed order, into a devastated landscape, into a destroyed people, into a destroyed society. And I did not want to introduce a new order. I had seen more than enough so-called orders. Galerie Karlsruhe Offset Print international shipping + tracking
