SKIRA Georg Baselitz: Milestones: At the Heart of Creation

Skira's new series Milestones: At the Heart of Creation, dedicated to today's greatest living artists, proudly presents this volume.>German painter, printmaker, and sculptor Georg Baselitz (1938) is a pioneering postwar artist who rejected abstraction in favor of recognizable subject matter, deliberately employing a raw style of rendering and a heightened palette in order to convey direct emotion. Embracing the German Expressionism that had been denounced by the Nazis, Baselitz returned the human figure to a central position in painting.
