Engaging these classic figurative motifs, Baselitz created upside down works in order to re-focus the viewer on the abstract qualities of his compositions rather than their representational aspects. Drawing inspiration from a broad range of influences, his novel mix of representation and abstraction allowed him to conflate the competing aesthetics of East and West Germany prevalent at the time. Of his inverted subjects, Baselitz has said: “I must take everything which has been an object of painting – landscape, the portrait and the nude, for example – and paint it upside-down.
