Bernd Berner (1930–2002) was a German painter and professor, considered one of the most important representatives of abstract post-war 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" —monochromatic, multi-layered color fields of meditative depth. He was a co-founder of the artists' 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.
