Jörg Immendorff was one of the best known contemporary German painters; he was also a sculptor, stage designer and art professor.

Immendorff studied at the Art Academy in Dusseldorf under Joseph Beuys. The academy kicked him out because of some of his political and neo-dadaist actions. His paintings are sometimes reminiscent of surrealism and often use heavy symbolism to convey political ideas. Best known is the Cafe Deutschland series of sixteen large paintings begun in 1977; in it, Immendorff has the guests of a diskotheque symbolize the conflict between East and West Germany. Since the 1970s, he worked closely with the painter A.R. Penck from Dresden, Germany. In his current work, a "painter monkey" often appears, as an ironic commentary on the artist's business. Ironically, he named his first acclaimed work "Hort auf zu malen!" or "Stop painting!"
