George Peter Lanyon was a British painter of landscapes leaning heavily towards abstraction. Lanyon was one of the most important artists to emerge in post-war Britain. Despite his early death at the age of forty-six he achieved a body of work that is amongst the most original and important reappraisals of modernism in painting to be found anywhere. Combining abstract values with radical ideas about landscape and the figure, Lanyon navigated a course from Constructivism through Abstract Expressionism to a style close to Pop. He also made constructions, pottery and collage.
Michael Neher was a German painter and architectural decorator.
Michael studied at the Academy in Munich, in 1819 went to Italy and spent five years there, including two years in Rome, where he studied architectural painting in the studio of the artist Heinrich Maria von Hess, and in 1825 returned to Munich.
As a typical representative of the Biedermeier era, Neher produced many costume drawings and landscapes. He also became famous for his views of public places and architectural depictions of many Bavarian towns. From 1837, Michel Neher devoted himself entirely to architectural painting and traveled to improve his skills along the Rhine and to Belgium. In 1839 he painted several salons in Hohenschwangen Castle from designs by Schwind, Gasner and Schwanthaler. In 1876 he was made an honorary member of the Munich Academy.
