Oskar Mulley was a modern Austrian painter who is primarily known for his paintings of mountain landscapes.
Charles Johann Palmié was a German painter, one of the pioneers of German Modernism and Neo-Impressionism.
He studied at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts, traveled and worked extensively, specializing in landscapes. In 1901 Palmie and his artist wife opened an artists' hotel in Kalmunz, Germany. Soon an entire colony of artists formed there, numbering up to forty people, many of whom lived there permanently. After Wassily Kandinsky and Gabriele Münter visited the hotel in the summer of 1903, the Kalmunz colony became the talk of the art world.
Impressed by the works of Claude Monet, the artist traveled to France in 1905, where a meeting with the master himself played a decisive role in the further direction of Palmie's work. In France, he spent much time studying Neo-Impressionism, pointillism and monochrome painting, and created many landscapes.
In 1909 Palmie, along with Vasily Kandinsky, Alexei Jawlensky, Gabriele Münter and others, became one of the founders of the Association of New Artists of Munich (Neue Künstlervereinigung München or NKVM), an expressionist art group in Munich. This group later evolved into Der Blaue Reiter ("The Blue Rider"), but without Palmie's participation.
George Grosz was a twentieth-century German painter, graphic artist, and cartoonist. In his work one can find features of various styles of avant-garde art, including Dadaism, Expressionism, and Futurism.
George Grosz drew in every style in a sharp-grotesque and satirical spirit, ridiculing the vices of society. The erotic theme, which occupied a prominent place in Gross's work, was executed in the same spirit.
Grosz devoted more than 20 years to teaching at the Art Students League of New York, and was elected an honorary member of the American and Berlin Academies for his outstanding services to the arts.
