Horst Antes was a German painter, graphic artist and sculptor, a pioneer of the new figurative painting in Germany.
After studying at the Karlsruhe Academy of Fine Arts from 1957 to 1959, Antes taught there himself and later became a professor there.
Antes became known for the Kopffüßler (head-foot) image, which has been a recurring theme in his paintings, sculptures and graphic works since the early 1960s. Antes' work is represented in several major collections in Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne and elsewhere in Germany.
Georg Engst was a German sculptor.
Engst preferred to work in wood, stone and bronze, but also in aluminium, concrete and glass. Much of his artistic work from the mid-1950s onwards is abstract-geometric in character, initially in the form of inlaid panels and inlaid walls made of wood, for example for a commission for the conference room of the Regional Church Office in Hanover in 1957.
Aristide Maillol was a French artist. He was a painter, sculptor, and printmaker, and is best known for his sculptural works.
Maillol initially worked as a painter, but after seeing Auguste Rodin's sculptures in the early 1890s, he turned to sculpture himself. His early sculptures were influenced by the classical tradition, and often depicted female figures in a simplified, stylized form.
Maillol's sculptures are characterized by their smooth surfaces and simplified forms, which reflect his interest in the pure and timeless beauty of the human body. He often worked in bronze, and his sculptures were typically larger than life size.
In addition to his sculptures, Maillol also created prints, including lithographs and woodcuts. His prints were often based on his sculptural works, and reflected his interest in simplifying form and line.
Maillol continued to work and exhibit his art throughout his life, and his work was shown in galleries and museums around the world. Today, his sculptures are held in the collections of many prestigious institutions, including the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Tate Gallery in London.
Pierre Schumann, actually Hans-Adolf Peter Schumann, was a German sculptor who created abstract sculptures.
Karl Ulrich Nuss is a German artist and sculptor who creates large-scale bronze compositions.
His father was the sculptor Fritz Nuss (1907-1999), Karl Ulrich Nuss continued his work and developed an unmistakable design style that characterizes all his sculptures. They depict single people, couples, families, as well as new fantastical creations from the animal kingdom. These works can be seen in public spaces in Bochum, Frankfurt/Main and Stuttgart.
