Outstanding neo-expressionist artists include the Germans Georg Baselitz (regarded as a leading pioneer of the style) and Anselm Kiefer, together with the American Julian Schnabel, who enjoyed enormous financial success in the 1980s. Kiefer's paintings sometimes incorporate materials such as straw and at times he has painted with blood. His subjects are often taken from German history or myth. Schnabel is famous for encrusting his paint surface with broken crockery. The titles of his works are often as deliberately crude as their handling, for example Circum-Navigating the Sea of Shit (1979). Some artists, including Baselitz, have made sculpture in a similar vein to neo-expressionist paintings.
