Nemačka Born in Донауешинген Neoekspresionizam Wikipedia in 23/32 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 Born in Лексингтон Apstraktni ekspresionizam Wikipedia in 21/32 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 Born in 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 Born in Deutschbaselitz Neo-ekspresionizam Wikipedia in 26/32 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.
