Ernst Meyer was a Danish genre painter of Jewish origin. He studied painting at the Royal Danish Academy of Arts.
Ernst Meyer travelled extensively, living for a time in Germany, France, Switzerland and Italy. It was the colourful street life of Rome that first inspired him to create genre scenes.
Gerhard Fietz was a German painter, professor and representative of non-objective painting. He is considered an important painter of the second half of the 20th century in Germany.
As a co-founder of the artist group ZEN 49, he opposed traditional representational art and, together with painters such as Willi Baumeister, Fritz Winter and Rupprecht Geiger, developed a style of painting that focused on experimenting with artistic means. Fietz exhibited at numerous national and international exhibitions, including the highly regarded exhibition at the Cercle Volnay in Paris in 1955.
