Georg Meyer-Steglitz
Georg Meyer , usually called Georg Meyer-Steglitz , initially also Georg Meyer-Pyritz , (born June 27, 1868 in Pyritz , Pomerania , † October 11, 1929 in Berlin ; full real name: Georg Renatus Meyer ) was a German sculptor .
Life
Georg Meyer was the older brother of the sculptor Martin Meyer-Pyritz and studied first at the teaching institute of the Kunstgewerbemuseum Berlin , later at the Berlin Art Academy with Johannes Boese . After studying in Paris, he rented a studio in Steglitz and called himself Georg Meyer-Steglitz from then on.
Meyer-Steglitz was very busy, although only a few of his works have survived, as they predominantly adorned places in the former Prussian provinces of Pomerania , Neumark and Posen and must now be considered lost.
