Hannah Höch sketch

Groovy Dadaist painter and photocollage innovator Hannah Höch.

Max Beckmann sketch

One of my all time fave degenerate artists, Max Beckmann was a prolific painter particularly during the Weimar Republic until the Nazi's notorious attacks on modern art began in the 30's. Over 500 of his paintings were confiscated by Hitler's cronies to be exhibited in the 1937 Munich Degenerate exhibit, then auctioned off or destroyed.

OTTO DIX

Vieira da Silva rough sketch

Another rough pencil sketch, this time Portuguese painter Maria Helena Vieira da Silva.

Oskar Kokoschka sketch

Wacky Austrian painter and playwright Oskar Kokoschka was a contemporary of Klimt and Schiele but outlived them to a ripe old age of 93. Looking to paint him in the early years when he was the iggy pop of his day.

GAUGUIN ROUGH

Very rough outline for my Gauguin painting. I hope to give the background a very lively Tahitian mash-up. He is undoubtedly one of the greatest painter/sculptor/dirty birds to have every walked. A true triple threat and amazingly renounced in his day. What were they thinking?

Paul Klee rough sketch

Another one of my favourite degenerate art chaps, the great Swiss painter Paul Klee.

Brancusi

Here is a rough sketch of the famed modernist sculptor Brancusi (Bran-koosh)
Stay tuned for a better finished version.
