{"title":"Schlichting, Max","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMax Schlichting, born Max von Schlichting (1866-1937)\u003c\/strong\u003e, was a German Impressionist artist. Schlichting, who also worked as a professor and art official, is known for French subjects and depictions of landscapes in Flanders and the Netherlands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSchlichting was the son of Julius Schlichting, a professor of hydraulic engineering at the TH Charlottenburg. He studied at the Prussian Academy of Arts (1885 to 1892) at Franz Skarbina, Woldemar Friedrich and Eugen Bracht and then at the Académie Julian in Paris. In 1896, his son Waldemar was born, who later became a marine painter. The family lived in Berlin at 99 Knesebeckstrasse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSchlichting first became a member of the Berlin Artists Association and in 1899, he joined the Berlin Secession, but left it in 1901 with 16 other artists. He accused the Secession of not being open to all art movements. In 1902, he represented, together with the older Bracht and Skarbina, Berlin in the annual exhibition of the Munich Glass Palace, following some exhibitions at art dealers the next years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1904, he took part in the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at the Great Berlin Art Exhibition. In 1904 there was a special exhibition of Schlichting's works, later mostly a separate hall and in 1911 the gold medal as an award. In 1912 and 1916 to 1923 he was in charge of the Great Berlin Art Exhibition. In 1917 he was appointed professor. When the Lehrter Bahnhof was not available as an exhibition venue due to the war in 1917, Schlichting went to Fritz Roeber in Düsseldorf and the exhibition was still held as the “Great Berlin Art Exhibition in the Kunstpalast zu Düsseldorf”. In 1920 the Reichspost appointed him to a commission for the competition of postage stamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Berlin Artists' Association he held the office of chairman from 1919 to 1921, and then honorary chairman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMax Schlichting's work was considered undogmatic and fresh. As early as 1890, the bestselling author Richard Voss hired him as an illustrator of his books, but the collaboration was later ended for unknown reasons, and Voss took on other modern painters but Schlichting continued to illustrate for the New York Herald and The World.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"schlichting-max-1866-1937-on-the-beach-1899","title":"Schlichting, Max (1866-1937) - On the Beach 1899","description":"\u003cp\u003eArtwork by German Impressionist Max Schlichting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download features 1 hi-res image in JPEG format that is 600dpi and 4053 pixels wide by 5019 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/schlichting-max\" title=\"Max Schlichting\"\u003eMax Schlichting\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60948915257674,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Schlichting_Max_1866-1937_-OntheBeach1899_main.jpg?v=1769470508"},{"product_id":"schlichting-max-1866-1937-parisian-boulevard-in-the-evening-1909","title":"Schlichting, Max (1866-1937) - Parisian Boulevard in the Evening 1909","description":"\u003cp\u003eArtwork by German Impressionist Max Schlichting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis download features 1 hi-res image in JPEG format that is 600dpi and 4984 pixels wide by 3955 pixels tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe picture is out of copyright and in the public domain, so you are free to use it in whatever way you'd like, including commercial use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead more about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/schlichting-max\" title=\"Max Schlichting\"\u003eMax Schlichting\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Digital Download - 1 image","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":60948928758090,"sku":null,"price":0.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/files\/Schlichting_Max_1866-1937_-ParisianBoulevardintheEvening1909_main.jpg?v=1769470508"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/7965\/7290\/collections\/Schlichting_Max_1866-1937-6897468.jpg?v=1769470443","url":"https:\/\/publicdomainimagelibrary.com\/collections\/schlichting-max.oembed","provider":"Public Domain Image Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
