Collection Information
This striking collection showcases a diverse range of early to mid 20th century styles from German painter and graphic artist Paul Schmolling (1892-1965). The works span from modernist abstraction in the figurative nudes to romantic detail in the classical ruins, demonstrating his versatility across subjects. The prints employ various techniques including woodcut and lithography, reflecting the experimental spirit of European art between the world wars.
Paul Schmolling (1892-1965) was a German painter and graphic artist. He studied at the Berlin Museum of Decorative Arts under Emil Orlik and art history at the University of Berlin. He was a member of the November Group, active in Berlin before relocating to Insterburg, East Prussia, and later Elmshorn.
In 1937, two of his works were confiscated during the Nazi "Degenerate Art" campaign; however, by 1940 he participated in the Great German Art Exhibition in Munich and held membership in the Reich Chamber of Fine Arts.
