Discover iconic works by painter and sculptor A.R. Penck @operagallery Considered a Neo-Expressionist, A.R. Penck is best known for his paintings and sculptures characterized by simplified figures and forms, and neo-primitive symbols and patterns. His interest lay in the development of a pictorial language based on a simple system of signs, which would be possible for everyone to decode. The result was a radical reduction in form to a series of outlined stick figures, which he called "Standart", in reference to the signals associated with commonly known standard symbols.
