Hermann Struck, Germany (1944-1876)

 Hermann struck is considered one of the outstanding early 20th-century artists in Germany. His work is characterized mainly by drawing, etching and lithography, but he also made oil paintings and even sculptures. Struck was born in Berlin in 1876 to an Orthodox Jewish family. He obtained training as an artist from 1895-1900 at the Berlin Art Academy. In 1904, Struck joined Secession, a Berlin-based artists' guild that promoted new styles. Secession’s activity is described mainly through the term “Berlin Impressionism.” This movement and its artistic approach bore a great influence on Struck’s personal style in his artistic work. Its president was the well-known painter Max Lieberman, and among its members were Ernst Bloch, Lyonel Feininger – later a Bauhaus lecturer, Käthe Kollwitz, Edvard Munch, Lesser Ury, Heinrich Zille and many others.
