Arthur Heyer (1872-1931)
From 1890 to 1895 Arthur Heyer studied at the ‘Unterrichtsanstalt des Kunstgewerbemuseums’ in Berlin, where he was a student of the history painter Max Friedrich Koch. During this time Heyer’s first drawings were published in various newspapers, such as the satirical magazine ‘Berliner Wespen’. During study trips to Transylvania he became acquainted with the Hungarian culture and eventually settled in Budapest in 1896. Here Heyer exhibited his works for the first time in 1906, more exhibitions followed, for instance at the Vienna Künstlerhaus and in the Glaspalast in Munich. Whereas his early creative period was defined by the satirical drawings, Heyer later primarily created painting of animals, especially lovely lifelike representations of white angora cats.
