Jorge Rando

Jorge Rando (born 23 June 1941, Málaga) is a Spanish painter and sculptor, considered one of the most recognised artist of the Neo-expressionist art movement. A world class study of key figures of Expressionism and Neo-expressionism, from the Museum of Modern Art in Salzburg, identified Rando as one of the best advocates of neo-expressionism in the world. The expert study selected Rando and Miguel Barceló as the only two representatives of this artistic movement in Spain. Therefore, in recognition of Rando's fruitful artistic career, the first Expressionist museum in Spain, inaugurated in Málaga in 2014, bears his name Museum Jorge Rando. Currently, the painter lives and works between Málaga, Spain and Hamburg, Germany.

In Germany, the artist's second home, his art work has also been recognised, since the prestigious Ernst Barlach Museum at Ratzeburg granted a permanent exhibition room to Rando oeuvres, making him the first living Spanish painter to receive such an honour. Provided by Wikipedia
