About The Artist
Conrad Felixmüller (1897–1977) was a German expressionist painter and printmaker, born in Dresden. Associated with the Die Brücke movement and later, the New Objectivity movement, Felixmüller played a prominent role in the cultural and artistic developments of the early 20th century. His early works, such as "Portrait of Max Herrmann-Neisse" (1921), demonstrated a bold and vibrant expressionist style. Felixmüller's art often focused on socially engaged subjects, reflecting the political and economic upheavals of the time. During the Nazi era, his work was condemned as "degenerate," and he faced persecution. Post-war, he continued to create, adopting a more realist style. Felixmüller's career reflects the dynamic shifts in German art between the wars, showcasing his versatility and commitment to both expressionist and realist aesthetics.
