Description: Norbert Wagenbrett studied at Leipzig University, which had been dominated for decades by the art concepts of Werner Tübke, Bernhard Heisig and Wolfgang Mattheuer. This "intellectual painting" was a fertile basis for the artistþs portraits of people, which were also rooted in the New Objectivity and the verism of the nineteen-twenties and nineteen-thirties. However, Wagenbrett is concerned with the present day, fervently seeking people's unknown faces behind their everyday masks.
