Julius Exter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Julius Exter (1863 – 1939) was a German avant-garde painter whose techniques were close to the Der Blaue Reiter (Blue Rider) school of artists and who became known as the 'prince of colours' for his lively expressionism style.
Some of his paintings (eg Woman with boat) reflect scenes of the Bavarian Chiemsee area where he resided and opened a painting school. His work is displayed in the Augustian Monastery on Herrenchiemsee, accessible from nearby Prien.
