Since 1969, the paintings of German artist Georg Baselitz have been immediately recognizable to anyone even vaguely familiar with his work because the subject matter is depicted upside-down. While, the "upside-down-ness" of Baselitz’s work is the most obvious and provocative feature of his paintings, it is, in the end, an artistic challenge that the artist sets for himself. By doing so, he deftly combines the worlds of abstraction and representation.
