Heinrich Blunck, also Blunck-Heikendorf was a North German painter and lithographer.
Heinrich Steinhagen, full name Heinrich August Friedrich Johannes Steinhagen, was a German painter, graphic artist and sculptor.
Heinrich began as a self-taught painter with paintings and miniatures in Impressionist and Expressionist styles. He also worked with elements of Cubism and Dadaism and eventually arrived at simplistic monumentality. Steinhagen was a co-founder of the Hamburg Secession and a member of the Hamburg Artists' Association. In 1937, Steinhagen, like many other artists, was persecuted during the Nazi campaign and spent several months in a concentration camp in 1944. This undermined his health and in 1948 he died of lung cancer.
Heinrich Steinhagen's creative legacy amounted to about a thousand works: oil paintings, pen and ink drawings, etchings, watercolors, woodcuts and sculptures in glazed clay, stone and wood.
Ferdinand Brütt, full name Ferdinand Martin Cordt Brütt, was a German Impressionist painter.
Brütt began his studies at the Hamburg School of Applied Arts, then continued at the Art School of the Grand Duke of Saxony in Weimar before embarking on an extended study trip to Italy. For many years he lived in the Kronberg artists' colony in Kronberg im Taunus.
Brütt painted more often scenes from public places, particularly court sessions, domestic genre subjects and landscapes. From 1906 to 1913 he created several large wall and ceiling murals for the city of Frankfurt. In 1905 he was commissioned to design a large public hall in the town hall of Frankfurt am Main.
Ferdinand Brütt also taught at the Academy of Arts Düsseldorf, was a member of the Association of German Artists and was a member of the Association of Artists of Malkasten.
