Carl Spitzweg
5th February 1808 – 23th September 1885
Carl Spitzweg was born on 5th of February in 1808 in Unterpfaffenhofen, Bavaria. Although trained as a chemist, he discovered quite early his talent for drawing and his affinity with art. Spitzweg travelled extensively during his lifetime and the impressions formed by his travels greatly influenced his work. Shortly after completing his studies in pharmaceutics in 1832, he visited Italy. It was particularly in the cities of Florence, Rome, and Naples that he discovered the many significant works of Western culture which were to leave a permanent imprint on him.
A severe case of dysentery in 1833 strengthened his resolve to abandon his career as a chemist and he proceeded to commit himself solely to his painting. In June 1835, he became a member of the Munich Art Association and travelled that same year to southern Tirol with the landscape painter Eduard Schleich, the Elder.
In 1839 he completed his first painting entitled ''The Poor Poet'. Although this recurring motif would later be considered his most well-known body of work, the painting was not accepted at this time by the jury of the Munich Art Association.
As regards his graphic production, the first publication in 1844 of his own illustrations in the Munich weekly paper 'Fliegende Blätter' is considered quite significant. His visits to the Industrial Exposition in Paris and the World's Fair exhibition in London in 1851 were his first contact with the Oriental scenes which would begin to inform his work.
To the deserving painter were bestowed numerous honours during the second half of Spitzweg's lifetime: in 1865 the Bavarian Royal Merit Order of St. Michael was conferred upon him, and in 1875 he was named an honorary member of the Academy of Fine Arts.
Carl Spitzweg died on 23th of September in 1885 and was entombed in the historic South Cemetery in Munich.
He leaves behind a body of work dedicated to the townspeople who inhibit his genre scenes, and with acute and pointed, but never ill-natured humour he portrays the everday bourgeois life of his time.

Monika Fioreschy experiments with unusual materials to find new ways of expressing the ancient art of weaving. With the change of material, Fioreschy successfully transfers the ancient technique to an entirely different world: showing the traditional picture weaving from a radically new perspective. The artist developed the new art form of the «transfusion picture» and «silicones». While in the transfusion pictures she injects paint, blood, plant sap into the woven structure with a hypodermic needle, Fioreschy paints the surface of the woven structure in the series of works entitled «silicones». Here you will find rhythmic sequences up to strict geometrical compositions. In this way, Fioreschy steps out of the textile art and loads the woven picture with additional content.

Monika Fioreschy experimentiert mit ungewöhnlichen Materialien, um neue Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten für die uralte Webkunst zu finden. Mit dem Materialwechsel gelingt Fioreschy ein Transfer in eine völlig andere Welt, der die herkömmliche
Bildweberei aus einer radikal neuen Perspektive zeigt. Die Künstlerin entwickelte die neue Kunstform des «Transfusionsbildes» und der «Silikone». Während sie beim Transfusionsbild mit einer Injektionsnadel Farbe, Blut, Pflanzensaft in die gewebte Struktur einspritzt, bemalt Fioreschy in der Werkreihe der «Silikone» die Oberfläche der gewebten Struktur. Hier finden sich rhythmische Reihungen bis zu strengen geometrischen Kompositionen. Damit tritt Fioreschy aus der Textilkunst heraus und lädt das Webbild mit zusätzlichen Inhalten auf.
