LEADIN
An exhibition by one of Berlin's favourite artists has opened in the German capital.
The Hodicke exhibition includes paintings and sculptures from the last five decades of his works.
STORYLINE:
From portraits and city motive paintings to installations and sculptures - K.H Hodicke has captured Berlin in its very essence for over half a century.
His paintings range from famous Berlin landmarks such as the Brandenburg gate and the iconic TV tower to street scenes at the Potsdamer Platz and portraits of daily life for Berliners.
And for the first time in twenty years, a major exhibition showing his Berlin inspired works has opened at the Berlinische Galerie.
Karl Horst Hodicke was born in Nuremberg in 1938.
After a few years in Vienna, where his family escaped to as Germany was engulfed in the final stages of the Second World War, he settled in Berlin in 1957.
And the history of Berlin is reflected in many of his paintings.
Some, such as his dark "Ministry of war," shows buildings and sites associated with the National Socialists regime under Hitler.
Others deal with Berlin as a divided city, cut in the middle by the Berlin wall, which separated the West from the East.
Some of the paintings from his later period show the jubilation and celebration when the wall fell, such as people dancing on top of the Brandenburg Gate.
The K.H Hodicke exhibition runs until May 27, 2013.
