Georg Tappert was a German expressionist painter.
Tappert studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin and later joined the Berlin Secession, a group of artists who sought to break away from traditional academic art. His early work was influenced by the Art Nouveau movement, but he later became associated with German Expressionism.
Tappert's paintings are characterized by their vivid colors and expressive brushstrokes, which conveyed a sense of emotional intensity. He often depicted scenes of modern urban life, such as cafés, streets, and theaters, as well as portraits and still-life compositions. He also produced a significant body of graphic work, including woodcuts and lithographs.
Tappert's work was exhibited extensively during his lifetime, including at the Berlin Secession and the Städtische Galerie in Munich. He was also awarded numerous honors and awards for his work, including the Villa Massimo Prize in Rome in 1911 and the Grand Cross of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1955.
William Howe or How was a British botanist and physician.
He studied at St. John's College, Oxford, earning a bachelor's degree and then a master's degree in medicine. He served briefly in the King's army as a cavalry commander, and later returned to the medical profession and practiced in London.
In his Phytologia Britannica, natales exhibens Indigenarum stirpium sponte Emergentium ("Phytology Britannica"), published in London in 1650, William Howe combined Thomas Johnson's catalogs into a single alphabetical list, supplemented with additional plants from other sources. This was the first edition of the book to compile for the first time all the known plants of Britain with descriptions of their occurrence.
