Gerhard Richter is a German visual artist. Richter has produced abstract as well as photorealistic paintings, and also photographs and glass pieces. He is widely regarded as one of the most important contemporary German artists and several of his works have set record prices at auction.
Wilhelm Imkamp was a German painter and a student of the Bauhaus and is one of the most important abstract painters of the post-war period in Germany.
Even though Imkamp made over 500 portraits in his lifetime and thus secured his income for several years of his life, abstract painting is and remains the core of his work. His paintings were created without sketches and preliminary studies, he always painted several pictures at the same time and let a composition emerge in many individual steps from the interaction of colour and form alone. Impressions from nature and music were his sources of inspiration, which played a part in the creative process, but in the end a completely new world of images emerged, on the basis of which the picture titles were also found. Imkamp's work is clearly recognisable as a Bauhaus student, strongly influenced by Wassily Kandinsky's colour compositions, Paul Klee's narrative span and Lyonel Feiniger's structured use of space. Over the years, however, he developed a very independent artistic position among the students of the Bauhaus.
Hans Hermann Steffens was a German painter and graphic artist.
Steffens studied at the Königsberg Academy of Fine Arts and at the Berlin University of Fine Arts. During the Second World War he was taken prisoner and only in 1948 was able to return to peaceful life, being given a teaching position, and soon moved to France. In Paris he met many contemporary abstract and modernist artists.
Steffens was a member of the Association of German Artists, painted small format oil and acrylic paintings, created a variety of watercolors, collages and prints.
