Georg Baselitz — Hinterglasvogel
Georg Baselitz

Hinterglasvogel

1997

A bold and commanding work by Georg Baselitz, *Hinterglasvogel* presents the artist's signature inverted imagery, with a bird rendered in expressive, gestural brushstrokes that challenge conventional perception. The raw, visceral application of oil paint reflects Baselitz's Neo-Expressionist roots, combining intense color with a deliberately fragmented, almost primitive visual language. The painting embodies the artist's ongoing exploration of figuration, psychological tension, and the subversion of traditional pictorial order.
