Max Thedy was born the son of the actuary Johann Valentin Thedy and his wife Theresia, the youngest of twelve siblings. After the early death of his parents, the 12-year-old Max was taken in by the Hamburg painter Georg Friedrich Louis Reinhardt (1819–1905) and encouraged to paint. From 1875 he was a student at the art academy in his hometown. In 1882, at the age of 24, he was appointed professor at the Weimar Art School . His students included Elisabeth Thiermann , Christian Rohlfs , Ernst Biedermann and Rudolf Schmidt-Dethloff . In 1919 Thedy Meister was assigned to the Bauhaus and in 1921 to the re-established State University of Fine Arts as a professor.

Max Thedy's work has been and is shown in many exhibitions in Europe and the USA, most recently in Weimar in 2002, and in Ueberlingen and Frankfurt am Main in 2005.
