Jörg Immendorff

Jörg Immendorff (14 June 1945 – 28 May 2007) was a German painter, sculptor and stage designer. He was also art professor. He was considered a neo-expressionist artist.[1][2]

He often created "grand cycles of paintings" of political nature, sometimes inspired by modern Germany, that often took him several years to complete. His most famous cycles included Cafè Deutschland, and The Rake's Progress.[3]
