Kurt Günther
Kurt Günther was a German painter and graphic artist known for his expressionist works.
During the 1920s and 1930s Günther developed a unique style combining elements of Expressionism and Surrealism. His work often featured distorted figures and dreamlike landscapes, and he often used bright colors and bold, graphic forms.
Despite a relatively short career, Günther's work had a significant influence on the development of German modernism. His paintings and prints are held in collections throughout Germany.
