Description
Loosely narrative and frequently surreal, the paintings of Norbert Schwontkowski (born 1949) depict the world as simultaneously cartoonish and melancholic. His muted palette creates a subdued mood, while his carefully worked surfaces and minimal gestures convey an almost nightmarish intensity. This is the first publication in English to focus exclusively on his work.
