German painter, graphic artist, architect, designer, educator, writer and socialist; belonged to the first generation of the artist colony Worpswede: "What Heinrich Vogeler stands out among the other artists of Art Nouveau and Symbolism, is the light-hearted fairy tale-like nature of his imagery with its great fabulierkunst. Such fairy tale pictures have in common the emphasis on a world of sensation in which mysterious processes take place." (Quote: Hans H. Hofstätter in: Symbolism and Art Nouveau in Painting and Graphic Art by Heinrich Vogeler, www.heinrich-vogeler.de).
