George Mosson artwork • painting • previously for sale A still life with Dom Bénédictine liqueur, bottles and glasses

The Franco-German painter George Mosson paints carefree, wide-ranging still lifes and flowers. In 1898, together with Max Liebermann, among others, he was one of the founders of the famous Berlin Secession. This group of avant-garde artists successfully opposed the conservative Verein Berliner Künstler, which was in charge of the artistic field in Berlin at the time. Mosson was born in Aix-en-Provence, France and moved with his family to Berlin at the age of 14, where he later attended art school and lived and worked for the rest of his life.
