Emil Orlik

Emil Orlik, July 21, 1870 in Prague -   September 28, 1932 in Berli  was a Bohemian painter, graphic artist, photographer, medalist and artisan. Orlik was the son of the Prague Jewish master tailor Moritz Orlik (1832-1897) and his wife Anna, née Stein. After graduating from high school in 1889 in Prague, he studied from 1889 to 1893 at the private painting school Heinrich Knirrs in Munich and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. In 1894 he returned to Prague, where he finally established himself with his own studio in 1897. An East Asia trip to Japan from 1900 to 1901 was decisive for his further artistic development. In 1904 he moved to Vienna. He was a member of the Vienna Secession from 1899 to 1905 and published in the Secession magazine Ver Sacrum. After 1905 Emil Orlik became a member of the board of the German Association of Artists. A call as a professor at the State School of the Berlin Museum of Decorative Arts (since 1924 United State Schools for Free and Applied Arts) to head the graphics class, where he succeeded Otto Eckmann, made him move to Berlin a year later. His students include common names such as George Grosz, Hannah Höch, Oskar Nerlinger, Josef Fenneker, but also less well-known names such as Reinhold Ewald, Carl Schröder and the silent Gustav Berthold Schröter. Orlik had been a member of the Berlin Secession since 1906 and participated in its exhibitions. From 1922 to 1932 he was a member of the Prussian Academy of Arts.
