The art work of Daniel Richter (currently on display at the Denver Art Museum) has in a round about way lead me to discover another now favorite artist, he being George Baselitz. As much a predecessor as a peer to Richter; German Neo-Expressionist painter Baselitz has been churning out stunning pieces like three below for nearly half a century. These being just part of a series entitled "Heroes" finished in the mid 60s. This art coming out of the then divided Berlin depicts Ordinary German people as heroes and rebels in a very grotesque and vulnerable way.
