August Endell
1871‐1925
German architect and craftsman. Self-taught, he began his artistic career and participated in the establishment of the Munich United Werkstätte in 1897, becoming a Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) architect and craftsman. During his short career, he designed the Elvira Photo Studio (Munich, 1898) and the Bundestheater theatre (Berlin, 1901), among others. His distinctive non-representational architectural decoration using stimulating curves served as a bridge to Expressionism. [Sugimoto Shunta]
