At first, Georg Baselitz got into art just to "get the girls," but he has now become quite the renowned artist.
The medium Baselitz uses is mostly paint.
Since the beginning, Baselitz's works were about being a rebel. He wants to do things that haven't been done before and have his art stand out from the rest. His artwork is also very much influenced by the artist Edvard Munch. Both artists have the shared meaning of psychological brokenness in their art and has led Baselitz to do pieces about deformity as well.
Baselitz's art can be described as very painterly and appear very similar to Munch's works. He also employs a lot of different colors in his surreal paintings. Baselitz is known for us upside down paintings and mostly depicts people in his works as well.
Baselitz believes that, "the most intact world is the world of art. Nothing is better or more interesting to me than paintings." He lives out this statement by continually making his paintings that captivate his audience.
