''The centre of south German painting had by the late 1730s shifted from Munich to Augsburg in Swabia, where Johann Georg Bermüller became the director of the Academy in 1730; but his frescoes, as well as those of Franz Joseph Spiegler and Gottfried Bernhard Goetz, are perhaps more representative of the Late Baroque than the Rococo.'' <ref>[http://www.britannica.com/eb/topic-62327/Johann-Georg-Bermuller Johann-Georg-Bermuller]</ref>

''In the late 1920s Ernst turned to the beloved motifs of German Romanticism and revived them in a new, Surrealistic, manner.'' <ref>[http://www.abcgallery.com/E/ernst/ernstbio.html Max Ernst] Olga's Gallery. </ref> Gabriele Münter (1877-1962) followed the style of Wassily Kandinsky (a Russian-born French Expressionist Painter).

The [[Leipzig]] and [[Dresden]] Schools are among the latest generations of German painters. ''Figurative art that was deprecated as hopelessly passé in Paris and Düsseldorf never lost its grip in Leipzig. The city prided itself on being the birthplace of Max Beckmann and on a painterly lineage begot by Lucas Cranach.'' <ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/08/magazine/08leipzig.html?ex=1294376400&en=9d9fe31340e878a2&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss The New Leipzig School]</ref>
