Schweiz Ein böses Tier
Paul Wunderlich

Paul Wunderlich (1927-2010) was a North German painter, graphic artist and sculptor and is considered the most important representative of Fantastic Realism . In 1964 he was represented at documenta 3 in Kassel. In his works, the artist often deals with the themes of vitality and sexuality, death and transience. Content-related references to mythology and stylistic references to Art Nouveau or Art Deco can be discerned. In the process, idiosyncratic pictorial motifs and neo-surrealist scenes emerge. Numerous solo exhibitions have been dedicated to the work of Paul Wunderlich, including the Hamburger Kunsthalle , the Kunsthalle Kiel , the Lehmbruck Museum in Duisburg, the Tokyo Gallery or the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels.
