Eberhard Havekost is a German painter.
Havekost studied at the Dresden Academy of Art. Working from his own collection of photographs and videos, he reworked the original images on the computer: slightly changing the shades, subtly stretching and distorting the shapes. These transformations were then embodied in the drawing process, and the result is not photographic precision, but rather fleeting moments of abstract perception. Havekost often depicted modernist urban buildings as a means of referencing 20th century post-war politics and failed utopian visions. Hafecost also painted portraits and domestic paintings.
In 2010, Havekost was appointed professor of painting at the Academy of Fine Arts Düsseldorf. His work has been exhibited at major German and international institutions and is represented in numerous institutional and private collections.
Thomas Scheibitz was a German painter and sculptor.
He is among the most important German artists and sculptors of his generation. Since the early 1990s Scheibitz has developed conceptual painting and sculpture that draws on historical references, and at the core of the Berlin artist's work is the search for a new relationship between figuration and abstraction.
Lovis Corinth was a German artist and writer whose mature work as a painter and printmaker realized a synthesis of impressionism and expressionism.
Corinth studied in Paris and Munich, joined the Berlin Secession group, later succeeding Max Liebermann as the group's president. His early work was naturalistic in approach. Corinth was initially antagonistic towards the expressionist movement, but after a stroke in 1911 his style loosened and took on many expressionistic qualities. His use of color became more vibrant, and he created portraits and landscapes of extraordinary vitality and power. Corinth's subject matter also included nudes and biblical scenes.
