Edgar Ende
Edgar Carl Alfons Ende was a German surrealist painter, father of children's author Michael Ende and member of the Munich Secession.
Edgar Ende's work belongs to the tradition of fantasy and visionary art, and is considered one of the most important contributions of twentieth-century German painting to this style.
By the end of 1936 his paintings were considered 'degenerate art', and his work and exhibitions were banned by the Nazi regime. After the end of the war, Edgar Ende was one of the co-founders of the professional association of Munich artists, and for the first time participated in the Venice Biennale.
Since 1963 he has been an honorary member of the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich.
