Willy Stöwer was a German artist of the late nineteenth and first third of the twentieth centuries. He is known as a painter and graphic artist, as well as a book illustrator.
Stöwer became famous for his marine paintings and lithographs. He was particularly popular for his graphic work depicting the sinking of the Titanic, created for Die Gartenlaube magazine. Despite some factual errors, this drawing became iconic and was published many times. During his career, from 1892 to 1929, Stöwer illustrated a total of 57 books, creating more than 1,200 black-and-white and color illustrations, as well as commissions for posters, postcards, and advertisements.
Martin Kippenberger was a German artist known for his extremely prolific output in a wide range of styles and media, superfiction as well as his provocative, jocular and hard-drinking public persona.
Kippenberger was "widely regarded as one of the most talented German artists of his generation," according to Roberta Smith of the New York Times. He was at the center of a generation of German enfants terribles including Albert Oehlen, Markus Oehlen, Werner Büttner, Georg Herold, Dieter Göls, and Günther Förg.
