Neo Rauch

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Neo Rauch (born April 1960 in Leipzig) is an German artist whose monumental paintings owe a debt to Surrealists Giorgio de Chirico and René Magritte. With echoes of Socialist-Realism, Rauch exhaustively mines the intersection of his personal history with the politics of industrial alienation. Rauch lives and works in Leipzig (Leipziger Baumwollspinnerei), Germany. His work was featured at the 2005 Carnegie International in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, and he had his first North American museum exhibit at the Musee d'art contemporain de Montreal in 2006.
