Dieter Glasmacher is a socio-political German visual artist in the field of painting, art action, animated film and early street art.
Influenced by classical modernism, especially Dadaism, and contemporary art movements such as the works of Jean Dubuffet, Art brut, the expressive painting of the COBRA group and Pop Art, Glasmacher has developed a very independent position and a lively, original visual world over many creative years. Television, cinema, advertising, graffiti and other forms of street art also have a formative influence on his visual worlds, as do the "secret traces" of public space, words and scribbles such as those found in urinals, at bus stops or on the walls of houses. His main theme is his "consternation of current social oppression and deformation."
Edward Harrison Compton was a German landscape painter and illustrator of English descent.
Like his father he was inspired by the Alps to become a mountain painter (Bergmaler) working in both oils and watercolour. However, an attack of Polio at the age of 28 meant that he had to find more accessible landscapes to paint in Germany, England, northern Italy and Sicily. He also provided illustrations for several travel books published by A & C Black.
