Klaus Fußmann counts among representatives of neo-expressive post-war figuration. It was as early as in the 1960s that Klaus Fußmann contributed to an establishment of a new figurative art with some innovative impulses, such as his "Ragenden Figuren" [Towering Figures].
In painting, graphic art, watercolor and sculpting Klaus Fußmann, who taught at the Berlin 'Hochschule der Künste' for more than three decades since 1974, has created expressive figure scenes, portraits, landscapes and still lifes in an overwhelmingly powerful coloring up until today. A gripping expressionist style, in painting increased by a pastose application of the paint, characterizes the oeuvre of Klaus Fußmann.
Klaus Fußmann was honored with numerous exhibitions in Germany and the USA, among them in the 'Staatliche Kunstsammlungen' Dresden (1991), the Kunsthalle Bremen (1992) and the Museum am Ostwall in Dortmund ("Zeitsprünge", 2003).
