Note: |
Hans Meid: Along with Max Slevogt, Hans Meid was
a major leader of impressionism in Germany during the first decades of
the twentieth century. A talented lithographic artist, etcher, engraver
and painter, Hans Meid studied art in Karlsruhe under the direction of
Trubner and Conz. His first artistic work dates from 1907 when he was
employed as a designer for the firm of Meissen. Within Several years,
However, Hans Meid was creating both etchings and lithographs and exhibiting
his art throughout Europe. In 1919 he accepted the post of Professor of
Engraving at the Berlin Academy. |
|
During his career, Hans Meid created over 550 original lithographs,
etchings and dry points, the majority being landscapes, figure studies
and portraits. Most were made between 1910 and 1930, the period most scholars
point to as being Meid's greatest. |
|
Park Landscape, one of the artist's largest and finest
early works, was hailed immediately as a masterpiece in Germany. It was
exhibited at the famous Berlin Secession of 1913, bringing Hans Meid's Impressionist
art to the forefront. Clearly this is a major work of German Impressionism. |
