In the history of art, Heinrich Vogeler is one of the names that keeps being returned to.
The record lists Heinrich Vogeler as German painter (1872–1942).
Heinrich Vogeler was born at Bremen in 1872. His recorded nationality is German Reich. He trained at Kunstakademie Düsseldorf.
Around the turn of the twentieth century the movements arrived in quick succession, each defining itself against the last.
He worked as painter, architect and writer.
His recorded movement is symbolism.
Looking is a skill, and the artists who last are those who taught their audience how to do it.
That the work was made in German Reich shaped it: artistic traditions, academies and the galleries that decide what is seen have never been evenly distributed.
Heinrich Vogeler died in 1942, aged 70. The work remains, hanging in collections that outlived both the artist and the market that first priced it.
