Max Ackermann (1887-1975) The German painter and graphic artist Max Ackermann was born in Berlin in 1887. Ackermann studied from 1906 onwards at the art school in Weimar under Henry van der Velde, in 1908 in Dresden at the drawing school of Richard Müller and from 1909 onwards at the Art Academy in Munich under Franz von Stuck. In 1912 Ackermann became a pupil of Adolf Hoelzel in Stuttgart. Strongly influenced by Hoelzel, Max Ackermann developed his painting towards a more abstract style. In the 1920's, he worked as an independent artist in Stuttgart and was well acquainted with important artists such as Adolf Loos, Wassily Kandinsky and George Grosz. In 1936, his works were by the National Socialists defamed as Entartete Kunst. In 1957, Ackermann returned to Stuttgart, after he was given the honorary doctorate by the federal state Baden Württemberg.
