SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
The French-German painter and draughtsman George Mosson was born in Aix-en-Provence in 1851 and died in Berlin in 1933. He settled in Berlin at the age of fourteen and completed his schooling there. He trained at the Berlin Academy of Arts under Carl Steffeck and Hermann Freese, then continued his studies at the Weimar School of Fine Arts.
From 1884, Mosson exhibited in Berlin. After the Secession split in 1913, he joined the Free Secession alongside Max Liebermann, Max Slevogt and other artists; he was also a member of the Association of German Artists.
His work consists primarily of floral still lifes, as well as landscapes and portraits. The paintings mentioned include the landscape Märkische Landschaft, dated 1915, and an interior from 1919 featuring a set table, champagne glasses, fruit and China asters. The flower still lifes include, among others, a composition with amaryllis dated 1928 and a Vase of Roses from 1932.
