about the artist

After starting an apprenticeship in 1943 with the Silesian children’s photographer Grete Bodlée in Breslau, Stefan Moses was interned in 1944 in the forced labor camp Ostlinde because of his Jewish origin. After the end of Nazism, he worked as a photographer at the National Theatre Weimar from 1947 to 1950. He then moved to Munich and became a photojournalist. He produced photographs for magazines including Revue, Magnum, Twen and Quick. He became widely known through the photo essays he created for Stern between 1960 and 1968. In particular, with his portraits of people in their professions, first in West Germany and then in East Germany, Moses created artistic documents of the era’s time and social history. Other important photo series he produced include: Animal and Its Human, Trans-Siberian Railway, The Great Elders, Self in the Mirror, Artists Make Masks, Emigrants and Jews in Germany. In addition to other recognitions and awards, Stefan Moses was inducted into the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts in 1994, awarded the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany, First Class, in 2004, and the Lovis Corinth Prize in 2014.

"Stefan Moses masters the psychological and hypnotic means of returning to people and other living beings their lost naturalness."
Loriot

Seller's Story

When selecting works, my personal opinion is always the guiding principle, so that no work of art is offered that I would not buy for myself. Art has been with me since I was a child. For me, it is obvious that man does not live by bread alone and that art is also a source of life. As an art historian, I give the works of art presented an appropriate perspective and in this way combine passion and profession.
