Walter Geffcken

Walter Geffcken was a German painter best known for his Rococo scenes. From 1889 to 1891 Geffcken attended Heinrich Knirr's private art school in Munich. 1891-1894 he studied at the Académie Julian in Paris. He then moved to Italy, from where he sent monochrome still lifes to exhibitions in Munich around 1897. There he worked for the magazine Jugend from 1905 and regularly exhibited in the Glaspalast. He was a member of the "Luitpold Group", a moderate association of artists that had emerged from the "Münchner Künstlergenossenschaft". In 1926 he was listed as Professor Walter Geffcken as a member of the admissions jury of the "Künstlerbund Bayern"; he had held the title since about 1916. In addition to rococo scenes, Geffcken also painted peasant pictures, interiors, landscapes and portraits.
