Böse Menschen haben keine Lieder. 2002.

• According to the artist himself, Bisky uses stylistic devices reminiscent of Socialist Realism to process pictorial worlds that were formative for his youth in the GDR.
• By typifying the figures, the artist achieves a certain distance, topples the often idealized image of man in German history and ends up with a timeless statement about human existence.

•The artist's paintings are in important collections, including the Museum Ludwig, Cologne, the FNAC at the Centre national des arts plastiques, Paris, and the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Korea in Seoul.
