Walter Urbach was a German painter and graphic artist known for his abstract painting of poppies.
Urbach studied at the Düsseldorf Academy of Art, then moved to the Cologne factory schools to devote himself to applied graphics, mastering lithography. Later, however, he returned to free artistic work.
In the 1970s he created his first paintings of the poppy flower. From a botanically precise representation the subject gradually passed to more and more free pictorial compositions.
Walter Urbach's works are in many museums and private collections, including the Kunstmuseum Bonn, the Clemens-Sels-Museum Neuss and the State Graphics Collection Munich.
Lesser Ury was a German painter of the late nineteenth and first third of the twentieth centuries of Jewish origin. He is known as an impressionist painter, graphic artist and printmaker, a representative of the Düsseldorf school of painting.
Ury painted rural and urban landscapes, still lifes and monumental paintings on biblical themes. His works depicting the streets of Berlin and views of Brandenburg are particularly notable. Ury mastered both oil colors, creating floral paintings and urban scenes, and pastels, conveying an atmosphere of air and light in landscapes.
