Ludwig Gies

Ludwig Gies was a German painter. He was best known for his paintings and prints, which were influenced by Expressionism and the New Objectivity movement.

Gies studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and then at the Kunstgeverbeschule in Berlin. In the 1920s he became a member of the 'November Group', a group of artists who sought to create a new form of art that was politically engaged and socially relevant. Gies was also a member of the Association of Revolutionary Visual Artists of Germany.

In his work, Gies often depicted working class people, urban scenes and still life subjects with a sense of social realism. His style was characterized by bold lines, vivid colours and dynamic composition, which gave his works a powerful emotional impact.

Gies's art was widely exhibited in Germany during his lifetime and he was awarded several prizes and awards for his work. Today, his paintings and prints are in the collections of many museums and galleries in Germany and abroad.
