Kurt Meyer-Eberhardt (1895-1977), one of the most famous and revered 20th century artists of dogs and wildlife. He was born in Leipsig Germany and died in Munich. He studied at the Weimar Academy of Fine Arts, where he became a student under the artists Theodor Hagen and Lionel Feininger. He was a staunch individualist who rejected the offer of a professorship in Weimar because he valued his independence too much. His work has been published by the Hanfstaengl Publishing Company in Munich since 1917. His engravings are still published today at the printing shop in Munich, formally Franz Hanfstaengl, Munich . Engravings are hand printed in color on 300lb hand-made acid-free paper, from the artist's original plates. The printer applies and blends the different colored inks on the plate, following the original patterns and directions of the artist. The prints are signed under the supervision of the artist's estate. Image size is 14" x 12.5" with ample margins for framing.
