Books By Georg Baselitz, Alexander Kluge, Thomas Combrink, Georg Baselitz - Author

Georg Baselitz is one of the world's most significant painters, sculptors, and graphic artists. In the 1960s, he became well-known for his figurative, expressive paintings. Since 1969, he paints his subjects upside down in an effort to overcome the representational, content-driven character of his earlier work and stress the artifice of painting. Alexander Kluge is one of the major German fiction writers of the late twentieth century and an important social critic. As a filmmaker, he is credited with the launch of the New German Cinema movement. Katy Derbyshire is a translator of contemporary German writing.
