Max Dungert

Max Wilhelm Waldemar Dungert (3 September 1896, Magdeburg - April/May 1945, Berlin) was a German painter and graphic artist.

In 1919, he was one of the co-founders of a short-lived artists' association known as "Die Kugel [de]" (The Sphere); devoted to Expressionist art.

He established his own private drawing school in 1930, and joined "Porza" (named after the city in Switzerland), an international association for intellectual and artistic exchanges.

In addition to his paintings, in 1925 he created stained glass windows for a dancing school operated by Berthe Trümpy (1895-1983), which were destroyed during the war.

He also produced portrait sketches of notable musicians and composers, such as Kurt Weill, Paul Hindemith and the French singer, Yvette Guilbert.
