Stanisław Stückgold (1868-1933) was a Polish painter and member of the "Munich School." Born in Warsaw, he grew up in a wealthy Jewish merchant family and initially pursued a career in chemical engineering, studying at the University of Zurich and the Sorbonne in Paris. After working in various chemical laboratories and factories, he decided to change professions following his involvement in anti-Czarist protests. In 1907, he began studying sculpture in Warsaw but soon moved to Munich to study painting under Simon Hollósy. Stückgold later studied in Paris with Henri Matisse and became friends with notable artists like Henri Rousseau and Pablo Picasso. In 1913, he moved to Munich, where he joined the Anthroposophical Society and became friends with artists from the Blauer Reiter group. He opened a painting school in Munich, which he ran until 1921, and was briefly detained during the Munich Soviet Republic for his revolutionary activities. Stückgold's art, influenced by Rousseau and Matisse, featured landscapes, still lifes, and portraits with bright colors and ornamental outlines. He often incorporated elements of Jewish and Christian mythology, blending them with anthroposophic themes. In his later years, he lived in Munich and socialized with the Young Zionist Working Group. Stückgold's works are held in museums such as the Von-der-Heydt-Museum in Wuppertal, the Lenbachhaus in Munich, and the Wiesbaden Museum. His legacy includes a significant contribution to anthroposophic art, aiming to bridge art and higher spiritual beings.
