Life

Anton Nissen completed an agricultural training after attending school in Rendsburg . At the age of 22 he received drawing lessons from Carl Ludwig Jessen . His next teacher, Momme Nissen , took him to the Grand Ducal Saxon Art School in Weimar , where he studied with Stanislaus von Kalckreuth and Theodor Hagen . Around 1890 he moved to Munich for further training, where he opened his own studio and made the acquaintance of Otto Heinrich Engel . From Munich he visited the artists' colonies in Dachau , Haimhausen and, life- defining, Ekensund on the Flensburg Fjord . In 1891 he came to Gothmund to paint with Walter Haeckel . In 1896 he moved his center of life to Hamburg and from there intensified his contacts to Ekensund . In 1902 he and his wife, the painter Maria Nissen, moved into a larger property in neighboring Rinkenis , which quickly became a second focal point of the Ekensund artists' colony. Nissen was known for his landscape paintings from North Schleswig. His pictures are in Danish museums and in the Museumsberg Flensburg .
