Ludwig Hirschfeld-Mack Description

Ludwig Hirschfeld-Mack was born in 1893 and died 1968. He belonged to most innovative artists of the Bauhaus. He was involved in the graphic-editioons as an assistant of the print shop of the Weimar Art School. A colour seminar of him in 1922/23 established itself as an highly regarded discussion round.

In many paintings and print graphics did he work with the design of Johannes Ittens and Paul Klees. The deap love of the humans, nature and cosmos are very important to Hirschfeld-Mack. His works reflect the search after a new relationship between individual and association, like they are manifested in the idea of the Bauhaus.

After Hitlers takeover a jewish son of a leather factorist had to leave Germany and emigrated to Australia. Here he became one of the most popular art pedagogists of the country. The works of Hirschfeld-Macks haven't really been appreciated until now.
