Born in Liberec. Bohemia in 1941. Narkus Lupert-z is one of the most important German artists of his generation. His work reads like a constant declaration in favour of painting in a time of repeated hostilities and denials. During his artistnc career spanning over 40 years, Lupert-z's objective has been to keep the history of art alive and by so doing to achieve results that hold true beyond their time. Although he sees himself pri-marily as a painter. In the early 1980s he extended his work to include sculpture, which has interacted with his painting ever since.
