Heinrich Vogeler (1872-1942) was a German painter, architect, designer, and founder of the Worpswede art colony. He was primarily known for his paintings and designs of landscapes, portraits, interiors, and murals.
Vogeler was born in Bremen, Germany, and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden. He made several trips to Italy and was greatly influenced by the Renaissance artists. In 1894, he co-founded the Worpswede art colony with other artists, including Paula Modersohn-Becker, Fritz Mackensen, and Otto Modersohn.
In addition to painting, Vogeler was also interested in architecture and designed several houses, furniture, and decorations. He collaborated with architect Bernhard Hoetger on several projects, including the Böttcherstrasse in Bremen, a street that is now a popular tourist attraction.
Due to his opposition to the Nazi party, Vogeler's work was outlawed, and he was forced to flee Germany in 1933. He spent the rest of his life in Switzerland, where he continued to paint until his death in 1942.
Today, Vogeler's paintings and designs are highly regarded for their unique combination of realism and symbolism. His work can be found in museums and art galleries around the world, including the Kunsthalle Bremen, the National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
