Dimensions 58 x 46 cm Free shipping worldwide Arthur Heyer (28 February 1872, Haarhausen, Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, German Empire – 1931, Budapest, Hungary) was a German-Hungarian painter who mainly painted animals. He attended the Unterrichtsanstalt des Kunstgewerbemuseums Berlin from 1890 to 1895. His teacher was Max Friedrich Koch. During this period he also published his first drawings in various newspapers. In 1892 and 1895 he made study trips to Transylvania, where he came into contact with the local Hungarian culture. In 1896 he moved to Budapest and earned his living by illustrating books. In 1911 he received the Hungarian Count Andrássy Prize. After several exhibitions he was appointed professor there in 1915. In 1929 the Hungarian National Museum in Budapest acquired his self-portrait. In 1931 he died in Budapest at the age of 59 and was given a state funeral at the cemetery of Kerepesi. In addition to his early satirical drawings Heyer also painted animal figures, especially cats. There are numerous images, often commissioned by the artist, in which Turkish Angora cats, painted in many shades, are depicted in naturalistic terms. For this reason he was also called "Cat-Heyer". In addition there are numerous images of other animals, such as deer, hares, pheasants, chickens and dogs (especially his dog Mucki). Today, these are often distributed as art prints or posters. In 1919, he also published two children's books with animal verses supplemented with verses: Im Wunderwald, ein Märchen and Niki, eine drollige Hundegeschichte.
