About the Item
Germany, 1877-1943
Carl Schmitz-Pleis, originally Karl Schmitz (21 September 1877, Hennef – 1943, Düsseldorf) was a German painter.
Carl Schmitz-Pleis studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy and was mentored by Johann Peter Theodor Janssen, Eduard von Gebhardt and Claus Meyer.
Early in his career he signed his works with his birth name, but later adopted the name “Carl Schmitz-Pleis”, intended as a more distinctive artistic pseudonym.
The addition “Pleis” was taken from the place Oberpleis, near Königswinter, where his older brother Heinrich lived with his family and where he often visited.
In 1907 and 1908 he helped found “Niederrhein” (Lower Rhine), a progressive artists' association. From 1913 to 1928 he was a member of Malkasten.
He took part in numerous major art exhibitions in the Alte Kunsthalle and the Kunstpalast in Germany and organized the annual exhibitions of Lower Rhine.
In his later years he rarely left Düsseldorf.
Karl Schmitz died unmarried, childless and apparently forgotten in 1943.
He is generally associated with the Düsseldorfer Malerschule.
His work includes landscapes, still lifes and portraits.
The influence of Paul Cézanne is clearly noticeable in his work.
His works can be seen in the Kunstpalast and the Stiftung Sammlung Volmer in Wuppertal.
