Friedrich Heyser

Friedrich Heyser studied from 1880 to 1883 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden as a student of Leon Pohle and Paul Mohn.

Heyser was a member of the Allgemeine Deutsche Kunstgenossenschaft[2] and the artist group Grün-Weiss, formed around 1910.

Members of the Grün-Weiß group included painters Max Frey, Josef Goller, Georg Jahn, Walther Illner, Georg Lührig, Max Pietschmann, Paul von Schlippenbach, Bernhard Schröter, Johann Walter-Kurau, sculptors Richard Guhr, Hans Hartmann-McLean, Heinrich Wedemeyer, and architects Rudolf Bitzan, Georg Heinsius von Mayenburg, and Martin Pietzsch.

[3][4] From today's perspective, the Grün-Weiß was a moderate attempt to bring movement into the conservative structures of the Dresden Art Cooperative.

[5] Friedrich Heyser created numerous portraits of well-known personalities as well as genre-like depictions, often based on German poetry.
