// A.R. Penck’s Homage to Beuys (1989) is a dynamic lithograph that combines bold forms and abstract symbols in a tribute to the influential German artist Joseph Beuys. The composition is dominated by strong black shapes against a vibrant red background, creating an intense visual rhythm that evokes themes of primal energy and artistic rebellion. Penck's use of recurring symbols—such as human figures, animals, and abstract markings—suggests a narrative that is both personal and universal, reflecting Beuys' impact on art and society. The raw, gestural quality of the lines and the chaotic arrangement of elements embody Penck’s expressionistic approach, inviting viewers to decipher meaning within the abstract forms. This piece exemplifies Penck’s distinctive style and his engagement with themes of identity, politics, and artistic legacy.

Who are the Neue Wilden?
Neue Wilden is the term German artists used for Neo-Expressionism. In the 1970s and 80s, expressive painting re-emerged in Germany, with artists embracing intense colors and broad brushstrokes. The movement grew in opposition to minimal and conceptual art, favoring a return to raw, emotional expression through bold and dynamic painting techniques.
