Heino Naujoks (born April 30, 1937 in Cologne ) is a German painter.

Life

Heino Naujoks was born in Cologne in 1937 as the fourth son of a doctor and grew up in Marburg / Lahn (from 1943) and Frankfurt am Main (from 1948). After graduating from high school, he moved to Munich in 1957. There he first attended drawing courses at the municipal trade school. In 1958 he took part in the International Summer Academy for Fine Arts Salzburg (School of Seeing) with Oskar Kokoschka . In the autumn of the same year he entered Erich Glette's painting class at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich.

With his fellow students Florian Köhler and Helmut Rieger , he founded the artist group WIR in 1959, which Reinhold Heller and Hans Matthäus Bachmayer also joined in 1961 . In 1965 the WIR group merged with the SPUR artist group, and in 1966 the artists chose the new group name GEFLECHT . Up until the dissolution of GEFLECHT in 1968, works on the subject of technology and automobiles, but also three-dimensional "anti-objects", were created, partly in collaboration.

Between 1975 and 1989 Naujoks created large-format murals for public spaces, for example for the Technical University and the Großhadern Clinic in Munich as well as for the Augsburg State Archives. In 1990 he received the Water Lily Prize of the City of Munich. Heino Naujoks has been a member of the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts since 2007 . The artist has been married to Margot Dorothea Radloff since 1968; the couple has a daughter.

Since his artistic beginnings, Naujoks has dealt with the field of tension between figure and abstraction. Initially influenced by analytical Cubism , Art Informel and Max Beckmann's pictorial space , he developed a spontaneous, gestural artistic signature during his student years at the academy. Another important source of inspiration during the time of the WIR group was the southern German ceiling painting of the 18th century. Numerous paintings and drawings with religious themes were created at this time. Under the influence of Pop Art , Naujoks created brightly colored, two-dimensional compositions from 1965 to 1967, but he soon returned to expressive brush script. The collage plays an important role in his work, and he not only uses fragments from newspapers and other publications, but also parts of his own works, which he paints over after inserting them into his pictures. Since the 1990s, some of his paintings have been created as part of extensive series of works, such as the episodes “Cataract” or “Place as Events”.
