George Mosson
George Mosson (2 February 1851 – 3 September 1933)[1] was a Franco-German painter and draftsman,[2] founding member of the artists' association Berliner Secession.
His artistic training began with studies at the Academy of Arts, Berlin, with professors Carl Steffeck and Hermann Freese.
He continued his studies at the Weimar Saxon Grand Ducal Art School, and began to exhibit his works in Berlin in 1884.
In 1892, Mosson was co-founder of the Vereinigung der XI [de] collective as well as founding member of the Berliner Secession association,[1][3] grouped together to protest against the conservatism of the "Association of Berlin Artists".
He was also a member of the Union of German Artists ("Deutschen Künstlerbundes").
