Thilo Maatsch
Germany (1900—1983)Born in Braunschweig in 1900, Maatsch studied art and founded the Gesellschaft der Freunde junger Kunst with Johannes Molzahn and Rudolf Jahns. The group included Lyonel Feininger and Paul Klee. Although he could not pursue a regular course of study at the Bauhaus, he attended classes during holiday periods, and Moholy-Nagy, Kandinsky and Klee allowed him to study in their studios. In 1925, he joined the Novembergruppe, and two years later he held his first solo exhibition at the Der Sturm gallery. The rise of the Nazis brought his artistic career largely to a halt.
