Georg Baselitz — Jäger mit Hund (Hunter with Dog)
Georg Baselitz

Jäger mit Hund (Hunter with Dog)

1967

Georg Baselitz's *Jäger mit Hund (Hunter with Dog)* exemplifies his radical and confrontational approach to figuration, presenting the subjects in his characteristic inverted orientation that challenges conventional perception and forces the viewer to engage with pure form and painterly gesture. The raw, expressive brushwork fragments the figures of the hunter and dog into bold, energetic strokes, reflecting Baselitz's roots in German Expressionism while pushing toward a deliberately disorienting pictorial language. The work embodies his ongoing interrogation of representation, identity, and the act of painting itself.
