Fred Thieler was a German abstract artist known for his colorful, gestural paintings. He was born in Königsberg, Germany, and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Königsberg before moving to Berlin in 1945.
Thieler's early work was influenced by the Expressionist and Surrealist movements, but he soon developed his own unique style characterized by bold colors and dynamic brushstrokes. He often used a palette knife to apply paint to the canvas, creating thick, impasto layers that added depth and texture to his works.
Throughout his career, Thieler participated in numerous exhibitions in Germany and internationally, including the Venice Biennale and Documenta in Kassel. He was also a member of the influential German art group "Quadriga," which included artists such as Bernard Schultze, Karl Otto Götz, and Otto Greis.
In addition to painting, Thieler also worked as a graphic designer and a teacher. He was a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin from 1965 to 1981, where he had a significant impact on the next generation of German artists.
Thieler's work can be found in many private collections and museums, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, and the Museum Ludwig in Cologne.
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.
Friedrich Wilhelm Otto Modersohn was a German painter of the late 19th and first half of the 20th centuries. He is known as a landscape painter, a representative of the Barbizon School.
Otto Modersohn produced Barbizonian-style landscapes early in his career, but from about 1890 his style became more expressionist, with an emphasis on his choice of colors. The death of his second wife influenced his style: the colors became darker and the images more stark. Modersohn was one of the founders of the Worpswede artists' colony. A large collection of his works is kept in the Modersohn Museum in Fischerhude, and a street in Berlin is also named after him.
