Nemačka From Донауешинген Neoekspresionizam On Wikipedia in 23 of 32 languages
Anselm Kiefer predstavlja jedan od najdubljih i najprepoznatljivijih glasova neoekspresionizma, umetničkog pokreta koji je proizašao krajem 1970-ih i početkom 1980-ih kao snažna reakcija protiv strogosti minimalizma i konceptualne umetnosti. Rođen u Donaueschingen-u u Nemačkoj 1945. godine, sam Kieferov egzistencijalni trenutak neraskidivo je povezan sa posledicama Drugog svetskog rata.

Amerikanac From Лексингтон Apstraktni ekspresionizam On Wikipedia in 21 of 32 languages
Nakon ranih studija kod Pierrea Daure na Univerzitetu Washington and Lee, usledila su formativna iskustva u Arts Students League of New York i Black Mountain College, gde je susreo ključne figure poput Roberta Rauschenberga, Johna Cagea i Merceja Cunninghama. Ipak, upravo je putovanje Italiji i Severnoj Africi 1952. godine sa Rauschenbergom — finansirano grantom iz Muzeja lepih umetnosti Virdinije — pokazalo se istinski transformativnim.

Američka From Bruklin Neoekspresionizam
Rođen u Bruklinu 1951. godine, njegov rani život dobio je neočekivani preokret kada se njegova porodica 1965. preselila u Braunsvil u Teksas—što je bilo formativno iskustvo koje je u njemu usadilo osećaj izvanosti i fascinaciju sirovim, neukroćenim okruženjima.

Nemačka From Deutschbaselitz Neo-ekspresionizam On Wikipedia in 26 of 32 languages
Rođen kao Hans-Georg Bruno Kern 23. januara 1938. godine u malom nemačkom selu Deutschbaselitz, umetnik koji će svet upoznati kao Georg Baselitz bio je dete dubokih tranzicija i previranja. Odrastajući u regionu Gornje Lužice usred doslovnog i metaforičkog ruševina Drugog svetskog rata, njegova rani svest bila je neraskidivo povezana sa temama uništenja, raseljavanja i polomljenog poretka slomljenog društva.

American Neo-expressionism, Glitch art
Anthony Sims, born in Southaven, Mississippi in 1998, is a contemporary artist whose work embodies a fascinating tension—a collision between raw emotional expression and meticulous technical skill. His early work demonstrated a “raw and primitive” quality, as noted by the Pinch Journal in 2018, but this rawness was always tempered by a clear sense of control and composition.
