Hans-Jürgen Diehl is a German New Realist painter and professor of painting at the Berlin University of the Arts. From 1959, Hans-Jürgen Diehl studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris and at the Berlin University of Fine Arts. Diehl is a founding member of the Großgörschen 35 exhibition community, a self-help gallery of Berlin artists in the backyard factory floor in Berlin, and was a member of it until 1969. From 1966 onwards, Berlin realists came together as “Section Großgörschen 35” and represented a critical artistic program that was influenced by the Dresden and Berlin Verist art movement of the 1920s. In the Berlin art scene, the artist represents a critical and socially critical realism that follows the New Objectivity of the 1920s. He represents a modern representational style, surreal, socially critical and photorealistic. Since 1977, Hans-Jürgen Diehl has held a professorship for painting at the Berlin University of the Arts. Hans-Jürgen Diehl was a member of the board of the German Artists' Association from 1973 to 1978. The Berlin artist's works can be assigned to the subject area of critical realism.Date and place of birt: | 22 may 1940, Hanau, Germany |
