Robert C. Rore (born 1954 in Berchtesgaden, Germany) is a German artist and illustrator.
Rore did an apprenticeship as an assistant chemist before he studied art history in Munich and was simultaneously admitted to courses in painting nudes at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich. His first Solo exhibition was in 1982, the same year he became a professional artist. As an illustrator he works for publishers, companies and associations.
Since 1985 he teaches painting in Munich and at summer academies.
He participated in group shows at galleries, museums and Kunstvereine in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and the USA. He had solo shows in several museums in Bavaria and is regularly shown in galleries in Munich.
Robert C. Rore began in 1970 with surrealistic paintings, moved to pencil and colored pencil before he developed an individual style of Etchings around 1985 that culminated in neobaroque works with surrealistic elements, in a style reminding of Juan Sánchez Cotán.
In the mid 1980s he also added hyper realistic aquarelles of still lifes and landscapes to his portfolio. For the latter he claims John Singer Sargent as model. By the late 1990s he moved to painting humans, mostly the male body. His style became impressionistic and lighter, [1] comparable to the later works of Joaquín Sorolla. His male nudes have been described as ″body cult″ and ″erotic″ works [2] by the Süddeutsche Zeitung.

After he had signed a petition against the deprivation of the citizenship of Wolf Biermann in 1976, he lost his SED membership, and moved to the West two years later. He is regarded as a versatile German writer who wrote short stories, essays, autobiographical works, film scripts and novels. He received international honorary doctorates and awards.

Adolf Hitler, dictator of Nazi Germany from 1933 until his suicide in 1945, was also a painter. He produced hundreds of works when he tried to sell his paintings and postcards to earn a living during his Vienna years (1908–1913) but had little commercial success. A number of his paintings were recovered after the Second World War and have been sold at auctions for tens of thousands of dollars.

Norbert Prangenberg was an abstract painter, sculptor, and engraver who was born in Nettseheim, just outside of Cologne, Germany. Though he had no formal training and did not fully engage with art until his 30s, Prangenberg did finally come up with a style that was uniquely his own, not fitting comfortably into the neo-expressionist or neo-geo movements of his time, in the 1970s and 1980s. At this time, he was considered a major figure in contemporary German art. Though he got his start with abstract paintings, he also became known for making sculptures of all sizes; and while his work initially appears abstract, the titles given sometimes allude to the human body or a landscape. As a trained gold- and silversmith, as well as a glassblower, he always showed an attention to materials and how they could be physically engaged with. He was interested in how his own two hands could affect the painting or sculpture's surface. Traces of the artist's hand appear literally throughout his entire oeuvre, before he lost the battle with liver cancer in 2012.
