Spiro

The book "Spiro" by Wolfgang Feyerabend offers a comprehensive insight into the life and work of the painter and draftsman Eugen Spiro, who established himself as one of the most sought-after portraitists during the Weimar Republic. Spiro, a talented artist who lived and worked in Berlin, was known for his portraits of prominent figures from art, science, and politics. His passion for music is reflected in his drawings of Berlin's concert life. The book highlights not only his artistic development, shaped by his time in Paris and his return to Berlin, but also the challenges he faced during the Nazi regime and his emigration to New York. The biography provides a detailed analysis of Spiro's influence on the art scene of his time and his role as the head of the Berlin Secession. With 360 pages, this work is a valuable resource for anyone interested in art history and the biographies of significant artists.
