The works of Baselitz is deeply rooted in a German tradition, his expressionistic style is reminiscent of Munch, Jorn and others. For this reason, this first exhibition of his works in Scandinavia assumed great importance. Baselitz belongs to a group of artists who in the 1960s and 70s tried to rediscover the identity of German art, which had been severely jeopardized by the war. Therefore, his abstract expressionist paintings are imbued with themes of destruction and suffering, as he grapples with his own experiences during the war.
