Conrad Westpfahl (1891 - 1976)
Conrad Westpfahl
Conrad Westpfahl was a German painter. He was associated with the Expressionist movement in Germany, and his paintings often depicted the landscapes and people of rural Bavaria.
Westpfahl studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin and later became a professor at the School of Arts and Crafts in Würzburg. He was a member of the Berlin Secession, an association of artists who broke away from the traditional academic art world in the early 20th century.
Westpfahl's style was characterized by bold colors, thick brushstrokes, and a sense of emotional intensity. Later he moved on to more abstract painting.
Today, Westpfahl's paintings are held in collections around the world, including the National Gallery in Berlin and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
