For more than thirty years, film director Heinz Peter Schwerfel has been observing the German-born painter and sculptor Georg Baselitz in interviews and studio visits. This film was his first television appearance, where the nonconformist artist gives a well-prepared performance with provocative statements and surprising explanations of his work: the rejection of the abstract painting of the 1950s, the reversal of his portraits, which are painted upside down, and his sculptures, which are influenced by the primitivism of African art. Today, Baselitz has become one of the most famous and praised contemporary artists.
