Georg Baselitz — Jahre später
Georg Baselitz

Jahre später

2019

"Jahre später" (Years Later) by Georg Baselitz demonstrates the artist's signature inverted figuration technique, presenting distorted human forms rendered in expressive gestural brushwork. The combination of oil paint with gold varnish creates a luminous, unstable surface that enhances the work's emotional intensity and visual complexity. The painting exemplifies Baselitz's Neo-Expressionist approach to abstraction, where figuration and abstraction coexist in a raw, psychologically charged composition.
