Klaus Fussmann is a contemporary German painter. His works are inspired by Impressionism, and—despite encompassing a wide gambit of subject matter that includes still lifes, figuration, maritime scenes, and flowers—he is best known for his washy landscape scenes characterized by expansive lemon yellow fields. Since graduating from the Berlin University of the Arts in 1966, Fussmann has received several accolades for his work, including the Villa Romana Prize from the Villa Romana Foundation in 1972, and a 1972 exhibition at the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin. Born on March 24, 1938 in Velbert, Germany, he now lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
