About Walter Leistikow
1865-1908
In the spirit of Symbolism and Art Nouveau, Walter Leistikow, the "painter of the March of Brandenburg", devoted himself to the lakes and trees of nature surrounding the then capital of the German Empire, Berlin.
The German painter and graphic artist was one of the founding members of the artists' group "Die XI". In 1898, he campaigned for the founding of the Berlin Secession. After a phase of ornamental stylisation and detachment from a natural colouring, he returned to his more naturalistic painting style in the late 1890s, presumably under the influence of the Impressionist Max Liebermann.
Graphic or sculpture edition that was initiated by ars mundi and is available only at ars mundi or at distribution partners licensed by ars mundi.
Depiction of typical scenes from daily life in painting, with distinctions between rural, bourgeois, and courtly genres.
The genre reached its peak and immense popularity in Dutch paintings of the 17th century. In the 18th century, especially in France, the courtly and gallant painting became prominent, while in Germany, a more bourgeois character developed.
Giclée = derived from the French verb gicler "to squirt, to spray".
The Giclée method is a digital printing process. It is a high-resolution, large-format print produced with an inkjet printer using special different-coloured dye- or pigment-based inks (usually six to twelve). The inks are lightfast, meaning they are resistant to harmful UV light. They provide a high level of nuance, contrast, and saturation.
The Giclée process is suitable for art canvases, handmade paper and watercolour paper as well as silk.
