Post War Sculptures — A1167: German Post War
Jörg Immendorff was a German painter and sculptor, stage designer and decorator, and a member of the New Wild movement.
Immendorff painted in cycles that often lasted for years and were political in nature. His series of sixteen large paintings, Café Deutschland (1977-1984), is well known. In these colorful paintings, numerous disco lovers symbolize the conflict between East and West Germany.
Immendorff prepared several stage productions and designed sets for the operas Elektra and The Rider's Voyage. 25 of Immendorf's paintings were selected in 2006 for the illustrated Bible.
Dietrich Klinge is a German painter and sculptor.
He studied freehand drawing and sculpture at the Stuttgart State Academy of Fine Arts.
Dietrich Klinge became world famous primarily for his uniquely sculpted human figures. With his abstract-shaped forms he creates a peculiar pictorial world of solid figures, busts, heads and reliefs, the powerful presence of which derives from their existential expressiveness. Klinge brings to life, with great artistic originality, the timeless feelings and contradictory mental states of man.
