Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Sigmar Polke (13 February 1941 - 10 June 2010) was a German painter and photographer. Polke was born in Oels in Lower Silesia. He fled with his family to Thuringia, in 1945 during the Expulsion of Germans after World War II. His family escaped from the Communist regime in East Germany in 1953, traveling first to West Berlin and then to West German Rhineland. Upon his arrival in West Germany, in Willich near Krefeld, Polke began to spend time in galleries and museums and worked as an apprentice in a stained glass factory in Dsseldorf, before entering the Kunstakademie Dsseldorf (Arts Academy) at age twenty. From 1961 to 1967 he studied at the Dsseldorf Arts Academy under Karl Otto Gtz, Gerhard Hoehme and deeply influenced by his teacher Joseph Beuys. He began his creative output during a time of enormous social, cultural, and artistic changes in Germany and elsewhere. During the 1960s, Dsseldorf, in particular, was a prosperous, commercial city and an important centre of artistic activity. In 1963 Polke founded the painting movement "Kapitalistischer Realismus" ("Capitalistic Realism") with Gerhard Richter and Konrad Fischer (alias Konrad Lueg as artist). It is an anti-style of art, appropriating the pictorial short-hand of advertising. This title also referred to the realist style of art known as "Socialist Realism," then the official art doctrine of the Soviet Union and its satellites (from one which he had fled with his family), but it also commented upon the consumer-driven art "doctrine..".http: //booksllc.net/?l=de
