The Dresden painter, draftsman and graphic artist Hubertus Giebe
is one of the most important representatives of an expressive figurative painting
of the younger German post-war generation.
After his studies, he was a master student of Bernhard Heisig for one year,
the old master of neo-Baroque, life-like portraits of workers, historical paintings and nude scenarios.
Giebe's world of figures, this expressive-tense between ecstasy and pupation,
reduction, seems like a sober, pessimistic response to the vibrant pictorial world
to Bernhard Heisig's vibrant pictorial world.
Hubertus Giebe has established himself as a master of experimental images of figures and history
with symbolic content. The contents of his pictures are grinning dwarfs, crucified people,
mannequins, crosses, sickles, wheels. Above all, however, heads, which are painterly
from pallets as well as from skulls.

Painting in original frame. Object to hang or stand.
