Artist Biography
Hans Meid was a major leader of Impressionism in Germany during the first decades of the twentieth century. A talented lithographic artist, etcher, engraver, painter, illustrator and scenic designer, Hans Meid studied art in Karlsruhe. Within several years, Meid was exhibiting his art throughout Europe, including at the Berlin Secession. In 1919, he accepted the post of Professor of Engraving at the Berlin Academy. In 1934, following Käthe Kollwitz, he became the director of the Meisterateliers für Grafik an der Preußischen Akademie der Kunst. During his career, Hans Meid created over 550 original lithographs, etchings, and drypoints, the majority of which were landscapes, figure studies, and portraits. Most were made between 1910 and 1930, the period most scholars point to as being Meid's greatest. He later taught in Stuttgart and lived in Ludwigsburg.
