Tom Beyer
Tom Beyer is a German artist.
Beyer studied at the Düsseldorf School of Applied Arts, traveled throughout Europe, in 1931 opened a studio in Berlin and joined the Communist Party. Although the National Socialists who came to power in Germany in 1937 forbade him to exhibit, from 1939 to 1945 Beyer took part in World War II as a Wehrmacht soldier.
After the war, Beyer led an active social and artistic life. He was also a member of the Association of Visual Artists of the GDR and became its chairman in 1950. As a member of the SED, Beyer reflected in his works the socialist construction in his country, depicting nature and people. He created a large mural for the Löwenschen Saal hall in the Stralsund town hall. From 1972 he taught part-time at the Berlin-Weißensee School of Art.
