Eberhard Viegener
Eberhard Viegener was a German expressionist painter, decorator, and printmaker.
In the 1930s his expressionist works were deemed "degenerate," and during the Nazi "Degenerate Art" campaign a considerable number of them were removed from state collections and destroyed.
Later Figener shifted abruptly from the expressionist style to the style of New Objectivity, or Neue Sachlichkeit. He began to paint, in particular, architectural still lifes with ceramic objects.
Eberhard Figener was the brother of the painter and sculptor Fritz Figener.
