Walter Einbeck (Magdeburg 1890 - 1968 Munich) discontinued his commercial apprenticeship in 1906 and went to the Applied Art School in Magdeburg. From 1908 to 1910 he studied at the Academy in Munich as a pupil of Angelo Jank. Sometime later Einbeck went to Weimar were he studied until 1915 -together with Adolf Ziegler- at the ‘Großherzoglichen Kunstschule’ with Max Thedy, Fritz Mackensen and Ludwig von Hoffmann. In 1914 he displayed for the first time his paintings: 30 of his works were shown in the ‘Großherzoglichen Weimar Museum’ (nowadays ‘Neues Museum Weimar’). Einbeck went again to Munich, where he studied as a pupil of Franz von Stuck. From 1920 onwards Einbeck worked as an independent artist in Gräfelfing, near Munich. He painted romantic fairy-like themes, landscapes, portraits and Jugensstill-sceneries. Soon many of his paintings were depicted on postcards. A book about Einbeck -by Ernst Voss- with his most important works, was published in 1924.
