Hermann Teuber

German painter and graphic artist Hermann Teuber studied at the Art Academy in Dresden and later at the Art Academy in Berlin. He received the Rome Prize and spent a year at the Villa Massimo in Roma. In 1938 he was declared a “degenerate” artist by the Nazi dictatorship. Shortly before the end of World War II, Teuber’s studio was destroyed in Berlin. After being drafted into military service he was captured by US soldiers but was released from captivity in 1945 and moved to Kalkar on the Lower Rhine.

Teuber mainly produced woodcuts, linocuts, etchings, lithographs, and oil paintings on wood. In 1950 he became a professor at the Art Academy in Berlin, and in 1961 Teuber retired to live in Bavaria. More than one etching with the title Tattersall by Teuber is known. Images of riders and from riding halls were one of his favorite motifs. Therefore, it is unclear which of his works is actually the one submitted in Berlin.
