- Summary
- The German painter Josef Maria Schröder, born in 1886 in Düsseldorf, where he died in 1965, is still unknown to this day. He worked as a banker in Düsseldorf till 1913, when he boldly resolved to devote himself entirely to his art. After an apprenticeship with the painter Eugen Spiro (1874-1972) in the socially and artistically effervescent Berlin, Schröder enjoyed his first successes when his works were shown in solo exhibitions and he won the Max Liebermann Foundation award. Most of his paintings and drawings are portraits, landscapes or abstract works. His artistic explorations eventually culminated in a ballpoint pen technique that he developed from 1950 on. In these late works, Schröder integrated a wide range of artistic styles from the first half of the 20th century to produce intensely luminous abstract compositions of a surrealist/constructivist cast. This wide range of different forms and colors then served in other works as backgrounds to particularly striking and highly stylized portraits.
