A.R. Penck doesn't hesitate to criticize openly the communist system and the fact that democracy doesn't exist inside. The consequence is that he can't integrate the Fine Art school of Dresde and Berlin. The communist political police (the Stasi) will censure his paintings (1969), take his canvas (1977) and at the end destroy by fire his own studio. This police tries to marginalize him in spite off the international prizes he receives (Prize of the Akademie der Künste (1975), ...) but Penck will find his own art style.
