Information about the artist
|
Friedrich Press was born in Ascheberg, Westphalia, in 1904 and died in Dresden in 1990. Following his training as a wood and stone sculptor in Münster, Press attended the School of Arts and Crafts in Dortmund from 1924 to 1926. He then studied at the Charlottenburg School of Arts and Crafts under Hans Perathoner and at the Dresden Academy of Art under Georg Wrba, among others. Press lived as a freelance artist near his hometown until 1935. During this time, he created his ‘Christuskopf’, which attracted a great deal of attention at exhibitions in Münster and Berlin in 1932. From 1935, he lived and worked in Dresden, marrying the painter and textile designer Elfriede Kiefer in 1935. In 1946, he returned from captivity as a prisoner of war to a destroyed Dresden and focussed his work on sacred art and church interior design. |
