Wilhelm Heise

Wilhelm Heise was a German painter associated with the New Objectivity. He earned a living by painting clocks, for which he developed a meticulous technique. In 1925, he participated in the Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) exhibition in Mannheim which brought together many leading "post-expressionist" artists, including George Grosz, Otto Dix, Max Beckmann, and Georg Scholz. His painted self-portrait entitled Fading Spring is representative of his style. Heise won the Nuremberg Dürer Prize in 1937.
