Life

Giese was born as the first son of the architect Ernst Giese and his wife Gertrud, b. Barteldes, born in Düsseldorf. Ernst Giese had moved there with his wife after he had received an appointment as professor of architecture from the Düsseldorf Art Academy in 1866 . In the following years, in addition to his teaching activities, the father took part in competitions for important buildings for the economically booming city on the Rhine. In 1867 he won the contract to build the Düsseldorf City Theater . In 1871 the second son Friedrich was born. In 1872 the Gieses moved back to Dresden , where the father first entered into office partnerships with the architect Friedrich O. Hartmann and then with the architect Paul Weidner .

Max Eduard Giese studied painting at the Düsseldorf Art Academy. His most important teacher there was the naturalist landscape painter Eugen Dücker , in whose class he stayed from 1887 to 1889. Then he moved to Munich , where he was a student of Ludwig Dill . He then settled in Dresden as a freelance painter. There he married Martha Schmook (1860–1923) in 1897, a painter who was born in Breslau , who had been one of the founders of the Munich Artists 'Association in 1882 , gave birth to their son Ernst in 1899 and was chairwoman of the Association of German and Austrian Artists' Associations founded in 1908 in 1915. In 1900 they moved to the Munich area, where he lived with his family and his sister-in-law, the painter Elisabeth Schmook , and died in 1916.

Giese worked with oil and water colors and made gouache, pastel, charcoal, pen and pencil drawings, which he presented at various exhibitions, from around 1890 in the Glaspalast in Munich , at the Great Berlin Art Exhibition , and in 1892 at the Dresden Watercolor Exhibition , 1894 in the Künstlerhaus Vienna , in 1899 at the Dresden German Art Exhibition, in the exhibition of the Berlin Secession and in 1902 in the Wroclaw watercolor exhibition of the Lichtenberg Gallery, where pictures of his wife were also exhibited. In 1903 Giese joined together with 42 other painters in Munich to form the “Association of Saxon Artists”, after the Saxon art exhibition in Dresden was rejected in 1903 due to limited exhibition space. In 1904 Giese founded the “Association of Munich Watercolor Artists” together with Carl Strathmann , René Reinicke , Hans Beat Wieland , Wilhelm Jakob Hertling, Hugo Kreyssig , Josua von Gietl , Rudolf Köselitz , Paul Leuteritz, Hans Gabriel Jentzsch , Friedrich von Hellingrath and Karl Itschner. As evidenced by his landscape motifs, which he often found in water-rich areas, he had undertaken study trips to the Rhine, to Holland and the sea coasts, to the Spreewald and to Austria, later to the main area, probably also to northern Italy and especially to the Munich area.
