Max Arthur Stremel (born October 31, 1859 in Zittau , † June 26, 1928 in Ulm ) was a German painter and graphic artist . His style ranged between realism and impressionism . He is one of the most important German representatives of pointillism .

life and work

Max Stremel attended high school in Zittau and then joined the Dresden Cadet Corps . From 1877 he completed a degree in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich . In 1879 he dropped out of his studies and went to Paris with his friend Fritz von Uhde , where he became a student of the realistic painter Mihály von Munkácsy and stayed there until 1887 (during the summers in Knokke , Belgium). Then Stremel stayed in Munich (1887–1889), Dachau , Eppan (South Tyrol), Dresden (1896–1899), Hyères (southern France) and Venice . Between 1907 and 1918 he was back in Munich; thereafter in Ulm until his death in 1928 .

In 1890 the first exhibition took place in Munich as well as numerous other exhibitions in other cities. He painted in the early days, influenced by Fritz von Uhde in his bright, impressionistic manner (interiors), but from 1896 after his acquaintance with Camille Pissarro , like his friend Paul Baum, he turned to pointillism.

Max Arthur Stremel was a member of the Munich Secession , in the German Association of Artists , in whose exhibitions he participated from 1904, and in the Berlin Secession , in whose exhibitions he took part from 1907. He stayed in the Berlin Secession even after the Free Secession was founded. In Ulm he soon became a member of the Ulm Artists' Guild .
