Note:	Herman Struck: A German painter, etcher and arts writer, Hermann Struck studied etching techniques under Hans Meyer at the Berlin Academy. During his career he travelled to Holland (1888-1889), Denmark (1902), Palestine (1903), Switzerland (1905), Sweden, England and the United States. From 1914 to 1918 Herman Struck was an officer in the German Army.
	Specializing in landscapes and portraits of his contemporaries, Hermann Struck gained a reputation for both his art and his written works upon the art of etching. One of his most famous books, "Die Kunst des Radierens", contains original graphic works of art by Barlach, Struck and others.
	Max Liebermann: One of Germany’s most famous painters, etchers and lithographers, Max Liebermann began his university studies in Berlin in the Department of Philosophy, at the insistence of his father. His spare moments, however, were spent in the atelier of the painter, Karl Steffeck. Liebermann continued with his art studies after graduating from the university and journeyed to Barbizon to study painting and etching techniques under the great Millet.
	In 1873 Max Liebermann had his initial exhibition in Berlin. It, like much of his art to come, sparked great controversy. Not since Courbet had the art world been confronted with such a truthful realist. A master of landscape and portrait studies, Liebermann also seriously depicted the plight of the poor within the era of the industrial revolution. Such was obviously not to the tastes of many Victorian era art patrons, who could accept depictions of the poor only through the veil of sentimentality. Nevertheless Liebermann’s fine work could not be ignored and in 1897 he was awarded the Gold Medal at the Berlin Salon.
	By the turn of the century Max Liebermann had emerged as one of Germany’s most famous artists. He had become one of the leading lights of the Berlin Secession, an influential group of artists which drew its strength from both French Impressionism and German roots. He was also elected the first President of the Secession in 1899,
	Although Liebermann was opposed to many aspects of early twentieth century Expressionism his art formed one of the primary influences for many younger German artists, such as Lovis Corinth and Kathe Kollwitz. This is particularly true with his great lithographs, engravings and etchings. Max Liebermann thus stands as a most important catalyst of turn of the century art.
	Baron Alfred von Berger (Vienna, 1853-1912): Baron Alfred von Berger was a theater director and playwright. Active in both Hamburg and Vienna, he promoted and directed German classical drama. Nonetheless he introduced audiences to such important contemporary writers as Ibsen, Hauptmann, Oscar Wilde and G. B. Shaw.
