Sigmar Polke was a German painter and photographer.
Polke experimented with a wide range of styles, subject matters and materials. In the 1970s, he concentrated on photography, returning to paint in the 1980s, when he produced abstract works created by chance through chemical reactions between paint and other products. In the last 20 years of his life, he produced paintings focused on historical events and perceptions of them.

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.

Friedrich Karl Gotsch, actually Friedrich Karl Müller, was a German painter and graphic artist.
After a phase of intense research into Picasso's cubism and experimentation with abstract techniques, the artist developed "late expressionism", which was typical of his work. Even during his lifetime, Gotsch was highly respected as one of the few painters of his generation who painted representational pictures. He also participated in numerous exhibitions and received renowned awards.
