Gr\u00fctzke&#8217;s powerful visual language, characterized by intellectual acuity and subversive humour, consistently places people at the center. His works do not depict idealized images, but tragicomic, complex and deeply social individuals.

A narrative panorama of human behavior unfolds in portraits, group pictures and scenic compositions.    <\/p>\n\n<p>Further information:<br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.museen-aschaffenburg.de\/START\/DE_index_1003_1369.html?tMkI=khj&amp;nAK=1080&amp;mkn=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.museen-aschaffenburg.de<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exhibition in the Kunsthalle Jesuitenkirche in Aschaffenburg.
