Donald Baechler

After studying art in Germany, Baechler returned to the United States just as Neo-Expressionist painting was staring to become popular. Baechler began exhibiting in New York City in 1980 and became associated with this movement, along with others such as Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Neo-Expressionistic works usually exhibit a use of exuberant colors and energetic, physical artistic processes. Baechler's works also offer lots of Pop imagery with his implementation of commercial icons and symbols.
