Carl Thiemann

Carl Thiemann (November 10, 1881 – December 3, 1966) was a Bohemian artist and member of the Vienna Secession, best known for his color woodcuts.

Carl Theodor Thiemann was born in Carlsbad, Bohemia, which was then part of the Austrian Empire (it is today known as Karlovy Vary and is in the Czech Republic).

His father died when he was young, leaving the family in distressed circumstances; as a result, he initially went into trade rather than training as an artist.

[1] His work was influenced by Martha Cunz's woodcuts, and it has stylistic affinities with such artists as Ferdinand Mirwald and Frances Gearhart.

[2] He won a number of awards, including the Federal Cross of Merit and the Golden Ring of Honor of the City of Dachau (1966).
