Georg Baselitz was born on January 23, 1938 in the town of Kamenz, communal community of Deutschbaselitz. From the place of his birth comes the creative pseudonym of the artist, whose real name is Hans-Georg Kern.The contemporary artist studied at the Higher School of Art in East Berlin. However, in 1957, he was expelled due to the immaturity of his political views. Georg held his first solo exhibition in 1963. His work "Big Night in the Ditch'' drew mixed criticism, and the German artist was accused of creative obscenity.The most recognizable style and technique of the artist's painting are inverted abstract figures. Georg Baselitz is a modern abstract artist who is trying to rehabilitate this direction of painting by introducing more recognizable figures and images into the subjects of his works.
