Who is Georg Baselitz?
Georg Baselitz is a German painter. He studied in East Germany, before moving to what was then West Germany. Baselitz's style is interpreted by the Northern American critics as Neo-Expressionist, but from a European perspective, it is more seen as postmodern.
His career was boosted in the 1960s after police took action against one of his paintings, because of its provocative, offending sexual nature.
He is currently a professor at the Berlin University of the Arts.
