‘In every slurp of paint, you see the Holocaust’: the genius and torments of Georg Baselitz

‘In every slurp of paint, you see the Holocaust’: the genius and torments of Georg Baselitz

Georg Baselitz's art, shaped by his experiences of Nazism and communism, confronts Germany's dark past through provocative imagery, including a notorious depiction of a masturbating Hitler, while later works reflect on human vulnerability. His death leaves a significant void in the discourse on historical memory and artistic expression.
