Carl Theodor Thiemann is a luminary of 20th century woodcut art. Tragic conditions halted the artistic ambitions of the young boy, as he had to learn the trader of a merchant at first. He began to studfy art at a later point, so that his art could then come to full bloom. Among the most outstanding artistic achievements of Carl Theodor Thiemann are his unique woodcuts, which he executed with great mastery both in black and white as well as in colors. Among his preferred subjects are ships, harbor scenes, city - and street views as well as landscapes, that captivate the observer with their delicate precision and their great love for the detail, often they emanate a slight air of plaintiveness, which is perhaps due to the fact that the artist had suffered heavy blows of fate.
Works by Carl Theodor Thiemann, who spend many years in the fruitful environment of the Dachau artists, are sought-after collector items today.
