Bernhard Heisig

Bernhard Heisig was a German painter of the postwar Leipzig school and one of the greatest artists of the GDR.

From 1942 to 1945 he participated in World War II as a volunteer in the 12th SS Armored Division "Hitler Youth", was seriously wounded, was in a Soviet prison camp and was released in Breslau as an invalid.

All these difficult events were reflected in Heisig's work. His unrelenting preoccupation with war made his work as manic as it was monolithic. Anger was what kept him working.
