About Max Nonnenbruch: Max Nonnenbruch (Viersen, 1857 - München, 1922: Famous German painter in the Art Nouveau Jugendstil Early 1900s Period. Nonnenbruch was one of the most widely exhibited and popular painters of fin de siecle Germany; his work was frequently reproduced in woodcut or photogravure and appeared in the great journals and newspapers of the day. Nonnenbruch was soon inspired by the less constricting tenets of the Symbolist movement and began to move away from the grand historicizing scenes favored by the Academy. Nonnenbruch started to create seemingly simple, yet carefully planned, compositions of idealized feminine forms, employing a striking use of light and shadow, a clear rich color palette, and precise, carefully controlled brush strokes. His figures are often in classically inspired costume which helps to create a sense of timelessness. Nonnenbruch exhibited regularly including at the Royal Academy of Art Shows in Berlin, the Munich Annual Exhibitions, the International Art Exhibitions in Berlin, and the Exposition des Beaux-Arts, among others.
