Frequent subjects are Dutch coastal and harbour views, Italian landscapes by the water and rural scenes with a stream or path. In almost every work there are sketched persons / children with only suggested facial features, often a column of smoke from a chimney and in seascapes frequently seagulls in flight, in Italian views umbrella acacias and cypresses.
Norbert Hochsider was a German painter and graphic artist. His artistic style was influenced by the German Expressionist movement that emerged at the beginning of the 20th century. Expressionism was characterised by an emphasis on subjective emotion, distorted forms and intense colours. Artists associated with this movement sought to convey their inner feelings and the psychological impact of the modern world.
Norbert Hochsider explored a wide range of subjects in his paintings, including landscapes, figures and still lifes. He has used bold brushes, vibrant colours and dynamic compositions to express his emotional response to the subject matter. His works often reflect intensity, energy and raw emotion.
