Karl Eulenstein (Memel 1892 - Berlin 1981) - Sell & Buy

German landscape and figure painter. After military service, E. studied 1918-23 at the Königsberg Academy with Arthur Degner and Richard Pfeiffer. He worked freelance since 1926. He remained closely connected to his East Prussian homeland until 1945 through annual visits and met there with Max Pechstein and Ernst Mollenhauer, among others. In 1967 he had to give up painting due to an eye disease. E. belongs to the important and independent representatives of the 'lost generation' active between the wars. More than 600 of his works were lost under the bombing, works of the pre-war period are of extreme rarity. Mus.: Lüneburg (Ostpreußisches Landesmus.), Regensburg (Ostdeutsche Gal.)
