Themes and
style:
In the 1970s, Baselitz was part of a group
of Neo-Expressionist German artists, occasionally identified as "Neue
Wilden," focusing on deformation, the power of subject and the vibrancy of
the colors. He became famous for his upside-down images. The subjects of the
paintings don’t seem to be as significant as the work’s visual insight.
Throughout his career, Baselitz has varied his style, ranging from layering
substances to his style, since the 1990s, which focuses more on lucidity and
smooth changes, drawing upon a dynamic and myriad pool of influences (including
art of the Mannerist period African sculptures, and Soviet era illustration art),
Baselitz developed a distinct painting language.
Techniques:
Multiple such
as: Aquatint, etching, watercolour, mixed, sculpture and drawing.
First Exhibition:
In 1963, Baselitz's first solo exhibition at Galerie Werner
& Katz, Berlin, caused a public scandal. Two of the pictures, "The Big
Night Down The Drain"/ "Die große Nacht im Eimer" (1962/63) and
the "Naked Man"/ "Nackter Mann" (1962), were seized by the
public prosecutor. The ensuing court case did not end until 1965.

In his own words:
"Every now and again I do a
self-portrait, and always in quite a strange manner. There are many models for
the nude self-portrait: Lucian Freud, Schiele, Stanley Spencer, whose painting
I don't like, but I did see a pencil nude portrait that was interesting. In a
way it is a move away from De Kooning, I knew I had to do something enormous
and silly."
