Biography
Felixmüller, Conrad was a German expressionist painter and printmaker born in 1897. He studied at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts and was influenced by the works of Vincent van Gogh and Edvard Munch. In 1919, he joined the Dresden Secession, a group of artists who aimed to break away from traditional academic art. Felixmüller's works often depicted the struggles of the working class and the social injustices of his time. He was also known for his portraits, which captured the inner emotions of his subjects. His style was characterized by bold lines, strong colors, and distorted forms. During the Nazi regime, Felixmüller's art was deemed "degenerate" and he was banned from exhibiting. He continued to create art in secret and after the war, he became a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden. Felixmüller died in 1977, leaving behind a legacy of powerful and socially conscious art.
