Friedrich Wilhelm Otto Modersohn was a German painter of the late 19th and first half of the 20th centuries. He is known as a landscape painter, a representative of the Barbizon School.
Otto Modersohn produced Barbizonian-style landscapes early in his career, but from about 1890 his style became more expressionist, with an emphasis on his choice of colors. The death of his second wife influenced his style: the colors became darker and the images more stark. Modersohn was one of the founders of the Worpswede artists' colony. A large collection of his works is kept in the Modersohn Museum in Fischerhude, and a street in Berlin is also named after him.

From 1930 he was one of the co-founders of the exhibition group 7 Munich painters. Schulz-Matan was also a member of the Neue Secession and the Deutscher Künstlerbund. In the New Objectivity art movement, Schulz-Matan developed his own artistic specificity in the Magic Realism movement. During the Second World War he worked as a war painter in France, then again as an artist in Munich.
Conrad Felixmüller was a twentieth-century German artist, born Conrad Felix Müller. He is known as a painter, graphic artist, illustrator and printmaker, a representative of the New Materiality movement, who worked in the Expressionist style.
Felixmüller created about 2,500 paintings and graphic drawings, the main motif of which was the human being. The artist considered himself a socially critical expressionist, and his works reflected scenes from everyday life. In the 1930s, many of his works were confiscated by the Nazis as examples of degenerate art and destroyed. As a result of the bombing of Berlin in 1944, Felixmüller lost much of his work.
Anton Gutknecht was a German-American landscape painter known for his maritime seascapes of southern California and rural Europe. With a particular interest in the tumultuous nature of the ocean, the artist often focused on capturing waves crashing on the shore or on the boughs of a ship rendered in a high level of realistic detail. Gutknecht spent his early life traveling between different areas of the country, notably Munich and Hamburg, observing the mountainous terrain that would later be the focus of his work and bring him recognition. Gutknecht taught at the Royal Academy in Vienna before frequently traveling to southern California in the 1930s, eventually moving there to settle in Palm Springs and focus on capturing the landscape there.
