Peter Nagel, was born in 1941, pioneered the establishment of the esteemed art faction known as ZEBRA in 1964/65 alongside Dietmar Ulrich and Dieter Asmus, making their mark in the annals of art. The prime objective was to revitalize the connection between art and reality and give birth to a modern, contemporary realism.
The inception of inventive visual forms, displaying the subject with a renewed sense of realism through the use of perspective, enabled the group to quickly gain international acclaim.
To this day, leading collections and modern art museums boast an array of Peter Nagel’s paintings – from Basel and Aachen to Duesseldorf and Florence, from Hamburg and Kiel to Lausanne and New Delhi, and from Rome and Gottorf Castle to Munich, just to name a few. Serving as a professor of painting at the esteemed Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts in Kiel for two decades (until 2005), Peter Nagel cemented his legacy as a master wordsmith.
