Werner Berges is a contemporary German artist and graphic artist, a representative of Pop Art.
Typical of him are bright colours and sharp outlines, the use of spot painting and the strips that give his works the character of reproductions. The heroes of his paintings are pop and film stars, advertising types of women and photo-models, whose erotic poses and captivating glances Werner Berges emphasizes with a powerful combination of colours, points, stripes and collage. At the core of his drawing is a "graphic framework" that exists independently of the overlay of colours on the canvas. The artist tries to show himself to be completely independent and impartial about what he has created and only signs his work on the back of the canvas.

Alfred Kornberger was an Austrian painter and graphic artist. He studied painting with Professor Robin Christian Andersen at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna.
Stylistically, he dealt with the different facets of classical modernism and was inspired by Pablo Picasso's late work as well as by the depictions of surrealist artists. In his early years he devoted himself to various themes from the world of industry as well as topographical depictions. Later he turned almost exclusively to the depiction of the female nude.
Alfred Kornberger's work is part of the great Austrian tradition of body-oriented art, which ranges from Egon Schiele to Alfred Hrdlicka. His central theme, the female nude, is not only a projection of sensual desire but also an expression of psychological states.
