Life

Minna Stocks was born in Schwerin in 1846 as the daughter of court theater rider , singer and later choir director Christian Julius Daniel Stocks. She had her first lessons with the Schwerin court painter Theodor Schloepke . From 1867 to 1869 she studied in Berlin with the animal painter Karl Steffeck , after which she took three years of private lessons in Düsseldorf with Ernst Bosch and Emil Volkers , then again in Berlin with Gustav Graef . For another three years she was in Munich with Jeanna Bauck and then went back to Schwerin. From 1880 she lived again in Munich. Study trips took her to Paris and London.

Her specialty was the representation of animals in genres and portraits, mainly horses, dogs and cats. Landscape painting was also part of her oeuvre . She was a member of the Association of Berlin Women Artists from 1884 to 1921, the Munich Women Artists Association and the Munich Artists' Cooperative. Minna Stocks was regularly represented with her works at important German art exhibitions, such as in the Glaspalast in Munich and in the exhibitions of the Royal Academy of Arts in Berlin. A picture of her was even on display at the Chicago World's Fair and Exposition in 1893 .

“There are currently some novelties on display in the Grand Ducal Painting Gallery. Fraulein Minna Stocks, who with luck cultivates the animal genre, sent three cute little pictures, which positively confirm the progress of the young artist. If she devotes more care to drawing in the future, her animal pictures will please even more. "
