About the Artist

Herbert Beck was born in Leipzig (de) in 1920. He initially completed an apprenticeship as goldsmith in Leipzig and took drawing lessons under professor Max Schwimmer at the Leipzig School of Applied Arts for Graphics and Design. In 1948, after the escape from the Soviets to Tegernsee, he began painting as an autodidact. In the 1950s, the gallery Commeter in Hamburg staged several exhibitions of his oil paintings. Also, Hanna Bekker vom Rath supported Beck early on and organised multiple exhibitions for him during the 1960s.
