Fred Thieler was a German abstract artist known for his colorful, gestural paintings. He was born in Königsberg, Germany, and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Königsberg before moving to Berlin in 1945.
Thieler's early work was influenced by the Expressionist and Surrealist movements, but he soon developed his own unique style characterized by bold colors and dynamic brushstrokes. He often used a palette knife to apply paint to the canvas, creating thick, impasto layers that added depth and texture to his works.
Throughout his career, Thieler participated in numerous exhibitions in Germany and internationally, including the Venice Biennale and Documenta in Kassel. He was also a member of the influential German art group "Quadriga," which included artists such as Bernard Schultze, Karl Otto Götz, and Otto Greis.
In addition to painting, Thieler also worked as a graphic designer and a teacher. He was a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin from 1965 to 1981, where he had a significant impact on the next generation of German artists.
Thieler's work can be found in many private collections and museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, and the Museum Ludwig in Cologne.
Karl Otto Götz was a German artist, filmmaker, draughtsman, printmaker, writer and professor of art at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf.

His powerful, surrealist-inspired works earned him international recognition in exhibitions like documenta II in 1959. Götz never confined himself to one specific style or artistic field. He also explored generated abstract forms through television art. Götz is one of the most important members of the German Art Informel movement.

Wilhelm Imkamp was a German painter and a student of the Bauhaus and is one of the most important abstract painters of the post-war period in Germany.
Even though Imkamp made over 500 portraits in his lifetime and thus secured his income for several years of his life, abstract painting is and remains the core of his work. His paintings were created without sketches and preliminary studies, he always painted several pictures at the same time and let a composition emerge in many individual steps from the interaction of colour and form alone. Impressions from nature and music were his sources of inspiration, which played a part in the creative process, but in the end a completely new world of images emerged, on the basis of which the picture titles were also found. Imkamp's work is clearly recognisable as a Bauhaus student, strongly influenced by Wassily Kandinsky's colour compositions, Paul Klee's narrative span and Lyonel Feiniger's structured use of space. Over the years, however, he developed a very independent artistic position among the students of the Bauhaus.
Thierry Noir is a French artist and muralist based in Berlin. He is considered the first artist to paint the Berlin Wall in the 1980s. He created brightly-colored paintings across large spans of the Berlin Wall and some of these original paintings can still be seen on surviving segments of the Wall in art collections and on the East Side Gallery. Noir's work and style are now considered iconic, and Noir is also regarded as one of the forerunners of the street art movement as a whole. He continues to create murals worldwide in cities including London, Los Angeles, and Sydney.
