New European Painting emerged in the 1980s and reached a critical point of major distinction and influence in the 1990s[1] with painters like Gerhard Richter,[2][3] Sigmar Polke, Georg Baselitz, Anselm Kiefer and Bracha L. Ettinger[4][5][6] whose paintings have established and continue to create a new dialogue between the historical archive, American Abstraction and figuration.[7] The major new European painters of this era show strong engagements with painful personal and general history, as well as shared history; its memory and its oblivion; and with life under the shadow of World War II, utilizing research in new and old materials, photography and oil painting.
