Dieter Krieg (*1937-†2005) is known as an important representative of New Figuration and was influential for subsequent generations of painters, not at last as professor at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf.
Starting in the 1970s Krieg painted everyday objects – always in reference to humankind, its daily life, its body, its death. The often oversized scale and the sculptural appearing pastosity gives his images an overwhelming physical presence. In 1978, he designed the German pavilion at the Venice Biennale with Ulrich Rückriem. Klaus Gerrit Friese takes care of his estate as chairman of the Dieter Krieg Foundation.
