Bernd Berner (1930–2002) was a German painter and professor considered one of the most important representatives of post-war abstract art. After training as a lithographer, he turned to painting, influenced by Willi Baumeister and Fernand Léger. From the 1950s onward, he developed his characteristic "flat spaces" – monochrome, multi-layered color spaces of meditative depth. He co-founded the artist group SYN (1965–1970), received the Villa Romana Prize (1967), and taught as a professor in Pforzheim from 1971 to 1994. His works can be found in numerous important museums and collections.
