Eintausend Nachtigallen (One Thousand Nightingales)
2001
Georg Baselitz's monumental oil painting presents his signature inverted figuration in a raw, gestural style, with forms rendered upside-down to challenge conventional perception and foreground the act of painting itself. Bold, expressive brushwork dominates the canvas, layering rich pigments in a manner that feels simultaneously chaotic and deliberate. The work exemplifies Baselitz's ongoing interrogation of representation, identity, and the legacy of German Expressionism.
