Franz Stassen

    February 12, 1869   -   April 18, 1949
Art Nouveau , Illustration   •   Wikipedia: Franz Stassen

With the dawning of the morning sun on February 12, 1869, an artist was born in Hanau who was destined to leave his mark on the world of painting, drawing and illustration. This was Franz Stassen, whose journey through the realm of art finally came to an end in Berlin on April 18, 1949. The appreciation of his work by our company manifests itself in the production of excellent art prints of his works, which aim to revive the sensitivity and uniqueness of his artistic work. The Berlin College of Fine Arts was the breeding ground for Stassen's talents, which he assiduously cultivated from 1886 to 1892. After ending his academic career, he briefly found a home in Hanau, only to soon return to vibrant Berlin. Although his beginnings were strongly influenced by naturalism, over time he was drawn to Art Nouveau, inspired by important artists of his time, such as Sascha Schneider, Fidus, Koloman Moser and Gustav Klimt.

Stassen was known for his versatility - by 1908 he had made a name for himself as a book illustrator and book cover designer. More than 100 books bear his illustrations, and in addition, some 50 bookplates and 25 postcard motifs adorn his name. A key role in Stassen's artistic career was played by his association with the Wagner Circle in Bayreuth in 1908, where he found a community of like-minded people who had a significant influence on his work and enabled him to create portfolios of Wagner works such as "Parsifal" and "Der Ring des Nibelungen". Stassen, who joined the NSDAP in December 1930, was also influenced by the political currents of his time, as can be seen in the four tapestries for Hitler's Reich Chancellery that depict motifs from the Edda. But despite these political connections, Stassen remained primarily an illustrator of Wagner works, sagas, and fairy tales. In 1939 he was honored by Hitler with the title of "Professor," and his works were presented in solo exhibitions in Bayreuth (1937) and Dresden (1940). The story of his personal life was as multifaceted as his art. After the death of his wife Minna in 1913, Stassen lived with a partner from 1941 and confessed his homosexuality. In the aftermath of World War II, Stassen exuded remarkable resilience and passionately devoted himself to restoring some of his works destroyed during the war.

Our mission as a manufacturer of high quality art prints is to keep the cultural legacy of artists like Stassen alive. Each of our art prints reflects the moving power and detail of his works, which always live on despite the transience of human life. We strive to do justice to Stassen's creative brilliance by making his stunning images accessible to future generations through precise, high-quality art prints. To the end of his life, Stassen devoted himself to his fourth suite of illustrations for Goethe's Faust, a testament to his unrelenting creative passion and a legacy we are passionate about carrying forward with our fine art prints.
