Johannes Grützke

(German, 1937–2017)

Johannes Grützke is a German painter. His works are characterized by their almost grotesque emphasis on bodily musculature and physiognomy, creating hyper-sexualized figures that become caricatures in his handling. A co-founder of the self-described School of the New Splendor in 1973, Grützke's satirical, whimsical style was formed through study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin under prominent representational painters like Hans Orlowski and Peter Janssen between 1957 and 1964. Grützke has more or less stayed in Academia since, with teaching stints at the Acadmy of Fine Arts in Hamburg in 1977, the International Summer Academy in Salzburg in 1987, and a professorship in painting from 1992 to 2002 at the Academy of Fine Arts, Nuremberg. Born in Berlin, Germany on September 30, 1937, the artist has enjoyed widespread success, including the awarding of the Hannah Höch Prize and a sprawling retrospective at the Germanisches National Museum in Nuremberg in 2012.
