New figuration
The New Figuration is a collective term for figurative painting after the Second World War . It is named after the book of the same name by the painter and critic Hans Platschek . It was created in a departure from the abstract approach of the Informel . The New Figuration includes Richard Lindner in the USA and HAP Grieshaber and his students at the Karlsruhe Art Academy in Germany : Horst Antes , Dieter Krieg and Heinz Schanz ; one of the sculptors is Wilhelm Loth .
In Austria, Franz Ringel and Peter Pongratz can be mentioned among others . In the Netherlands and Belgium, Reinier Lucassen and Roger Raveel belong to this style ( "nieuwe figuratie" ).
