Description

German painter and sculptor Rainer Fetting was born in Wilhelmshaven in 1949. He went to Berlin in 1972 where, in spite of the constraint caused by the dividing wall, he was able to capture the special atmosphere in the western part of the city. Both the student protests and the homosexual movement provided important influences for his view of society in the then, West Germany.
