Artist biography

Ferdinand Lammeyer was born in Fulda (Germany) in 1899 and passed away in Bischofsheim (Germany) in 1995; he was particularly known for his mural paintings. He began his studies at the Städelsches Kunstinstitut in Frankfurt and became, as of 1959, professor and director of the College of Fine Arts of Frankfurt. He joined the “Deutscher Werkbund”, a German craftsmen association founded in the early 20th century with the aim of promoting Visual Arts and architecture by bringing together industrialists and artists.
