Mary Hildegard Ruth Bauermeister was a German artist who worked in sculpture, drawing, installation, performance, and music. Influenced by Fluxus artists and Nouveau Réalisme, her work addresses esoteric issues of how information is transferable through society. Beginning in the 1970s, her work concentrated on the themes surrounding New Age spirituality, specifically geomancy, the divine interpretation of lines on the ground.
Poppe Folkerts was a German marine painter, draughtsman and graphic artist. He studied at the Berlin Academy of Fine Arts under Karl Salzmann. In 1907 and 1908 he studied figure and portrait painting in Düsseldorf with Eduard von Gebhardt, before going to Paris in 1909, where he was accepted at the Académie Julian.
Poppe Volkerts is considered one of the most outstanding artists of the Frisian coast. As an enthusiastic sailor, he was able to capture the peculiarities of this landscape, the struggle of people with the forces of nature and the fascination of the sea with its constantly changing weather conditions and moods, with a unique liveliness and intensity. His pastose application of paint, special lighting and pure colours create the spatial depth and radiance inherent in the paintings.
