Otto Pankok
(German, 1893–1966)
Biography
Otto Pankok was a German artist, revered for his large-format monochromatic paintings and woodcuts depicting marginalized members of German society. Born on June 6, 1893 in Mülheim, Germany, Pankok studied at the Art Academies of Düsseldorf and Weimar beginning in 1912, before embarking to the Netherlands and France. His socially-conscious depictions of those living at the edge of society, coupled with his stark, expressive style led him to help found the Junge Rheinland group, which also included the painters Otto Dix and Gert Heinrich Wollheim. Labeled as a degenerate artist by the Nazis in 1937, Pankok found tenureship at the Academy of Arts in Düsseldorf following the war, where he influenced a new generation of German artists, including Günter Grass. Pankok died on October 10, 1966 in Wesel, Germany.
