Fusing European Expressionism with American popular culture, André Butzer (born 1973 in Stuttgart) has painted his way through the artistic and political extremes of the 20th century—life, death, consumption and mass entertainment—into the 21st century. With wide ranging influences including Paul Cézanne,
Edvard Munch, Henri Matisse, as well as Walt Disney and Henry Ford, Butzer has developed a unique and elaborate fictitious universe.
