Vogeler, Heinrich

Johann Heinrich Vogeler (1872 in Bremen - 1942 in the collective farm Budjonny near Kornejewka, Karaganda, Kazakh SSR) was a German painter, graphic artist, architect, designer, educator, writer and socialist. The multi-talented artist is particularly known for his works from the Art Nouveau period. He belonged to the first generation of the Worpswede artists' colony. His home, the Barkenhoff, where he lived with his first wife Martha Vogeler, became the centre of the artistic movement in the early 1900s. During the First World War he developed an expressionist style of painting, and from the early 1920s, after visiting Moscow, he created the complex paintings with political motifs that were oriented towards Cubism and Futurism. After finally moving to Moscow in 1931, he began to paint in the style of Socialist Realism demanded by the Soviet Union.
