{"title":"Ury, Leo Lesser","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeo Lesser Ury (1861-1931)\u003c\/strong\u003e was a German impressionist painter and printmaker, associated with the Düsseldorf school of painting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUry was born on 7 November 1861 in Birnbaum in what was then the Kingdom of Prussia (now Międzychód in Poland). He was the son of a baker whose death in 1872 was followed by the family's relocation to Berlin. In 1878, Ury left school to apprentice with a tradesman, and the next year he went to Düsseldorf to study painting at the Kunstakademie. Ury spent time in Brussels, Paris, Munich, and other locations before returning to Berlin in 1887.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis first exhibition was in 1889 and met with a hostile reception, although he was championed by Adolph Menzel whose influence induced the Akademie to award Ury a prize. In 1893, he joined the Munich Secession, one of the several Secessions formed by progressive artists in Germany and Austria in the last years of the 19th century. In 1901, he returned to Berlin, where he exhibited with the Berlin Secession, first in 1915 and notably in 1922, when he had a major exhibition. By this time Ury's critical reputation had grown and his paintings and pastels were in demand. His subjects were landscapes, urban landscapes, and interior scenes, treated in an impressionistic manner that ranged from the subdued tones of figures in a darkened interior to the effects of streetlights at night to the dazzling light of foliage against the summer sky. He also painted Biblical scenes, many of which have not survived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUry is especially noted for his paintings of nocturnal cafe scenes and rainy streets. He developed a habit of repeating these compositions in order to sell them while retaining the originals, and these quickly-made and inferior copies have harmed his reputation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways introverted and distrustful of people, Ury became increasingly reclusive in his later years. He died on 18 October 1931, in Berlin and is buried in the Jewish Cemetery in Berlin-Weissensee.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"ury-leo-lesser-1861-1931-berlin-street-at-night-1889","title":"Ury, Leo Lesser (1861-1931) -
