Quadriga (artist group)
The Quadriga artist group is the core group of informal painting in Germany.
The Quadriga was founded in 1952 by the artists Karl Otto Götz , Otto Greis , Heinz Kreutz and Bernard Schultze . Her first exhibition in the "Zimmer Galerie Franck", Frankfurt, caused a sensation in the early 1950s. The artists of the Quadriga Group played a major role in ensuring that German art succeeded in catching up with international art development after 1945. The group of artists described themselves as "New Expressionists". From the point of view of many art historians, it is the first avant-garde group of artists in Germany after the Second World War .
