La mia grande felicità
è il suono che fa la tua voce
chiamandomi anche nella disperazione; il mio dolore
che non posso risponderti
in parole che accetti come mie.
Hans Herrmann | Genre painter
Johann Emil Rudolf Herrmann, known as Hans (8 March 1858, Berlin - 21 July 1942, Berlin) was a German landscape and genre painter. He specialized in scenes of the Netherlands.
He studied at the Prussian Academy of Arts with Otto Knille, Karl Gussow and Christian Wilberg.
From 1879-1882, he took classes in landscape painting from Eugen Dücker at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf.
Regular study trips took him to France, Italy, and Holland, where he attended the "Art Summer School" of the American-born painter, George Hitchcock.
He opened his own studio in 1883, and visited Holland annually after 1886.
Together with Max Liebermann and Walter Leistikow, he was a founding member of the Vereinigung der XI, a progressive artists' group opposed to what they felt were outdated academic traditions.
From 1879, he was a frequent exhibitor at the Große Berliner Kunstausstellung and the Glaspalast in Munich, as well as at lesser-known exhibitions in Düsseldorf, Dresden, and outside Germany.
From 1886-1890, he provided illustrations for Die Gartenlaube.
He died in 1942, at the age of eighty-four, due to "cardiac insufficiency".
He was interred in the Friedhof Zehlendorf.
In 1987, his burial place was designated an "Ehrengrab" (grave of honor).

Alice Neel | Abstract Expressionist painter
From: MoMa - The Museum of Modern Art
Alice Neel's (1900-1984) portraits hinge on trust. A figurative painter throughout the 20th century, she created work known for its deliberate distortion, bold outlines, expressive brushwork, and imaginative use of color.
Neel gained her subjects’ trust by inviting them into her home and telling them stories.
"She lulled you", recounted artist and friend Benny Andrews, whom she painted along with his wife, the photographer Mary Ellen Andrews, in 1972.
Her sitters knew that while her paintings may not always be flattering, she would paint what lay beneath the surface and she would not judge.
Max Slevogt | Impressionist painter
Max Slevogt (8 October 1868 - 20 September 1932) was a German Impressionist painter and illustrator, best known for his landscapes.
He was, together with Lovis Corinth and Max Liebermann, one of the foremost representatives in Germany of the plein air style.
He was born in Landshut, Germany, in 1868. From 1885 to 1889 he studied at the Munich Academy, and his early paintings are dark in tone, exemplifying the prevailing style in Munich.
Akseli Gallen-Kallela | Art Nouveau / Symbolist painter
Akseli Gallen-Kallela (26 April 1865 - 7 March 1931) was a Finnish painter who is best known for his illustrations of the Kalevala, the Finnish national epic. His work is considered a very important aspect of the Finnish national identity. He changed his name from Gallén to Gallen-Kallela in 1907.
Early life
Gallen-Kallela was born Axel Waldemar Gallén in Pori, Finland, in a Swedish-speaking family.
His father Peter Gallén worked as police chief and lawyer.
Gallen-Kallela was raised in Tyrvää. At the age of 11 he was sent to Helsinki to study at a grammar school, because his father opposed his ambition to become a painter.
After his father's death in 1879, Gallen-Kallela attended drawing classes at the Finnish Art Society (1881-1884) and studied privately under Adolf von Becker.

Laurits Tuxen | Skagen painter/sculptor
From: Art Museums of Skagen
Laurits Regner Tuxen was brought up in Copenhagen. As the son of a naval officer, he originally wanted to be a marine artist. When training at the Royal Danish Academy of fine Arts, he and Peder Severin Krøyer were considered to be the most talented students.
Tuxen first visited Skagen in 1870, and he returned several times during the 1870s. More than 20 years would pass before he returned in 1901.
During that time Tuxen trained as a painter in Paris together with Peder Severin Krøyer and he was one of the co-founders of the Kunstnernes Frie Studieskoler, which was established as an alternative to the academy.
Tuxen became a popular portrait painter and travelled a lot due to commissions from the royal courts of Europe.
