{"title":"Georg JAHN","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs many artists in the 19\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century, Georg Jahn (1869-1940) started his formal training as an artist with an apprenticeship. In his case this was as a porcelain painter at the royal porcelain factory in Meißen when he was just 14 years old and it lasted to 1888. Clearly showing promise, he was awarded a scholarship to the art academy in Dresden by the manufactory. Jahn studied at the art academy with Leon Pohle from 1888 to 1890. In 1890 he moved on to study at the \u003cem\u003eGroßherzoglichen Sächsischen Kunstschule\u003c\/em\u003e in Weimar with Max Thedy. After completing his military service, he launched his independent career as an illustrator and portraitist in Berlin (1894-95), then in Leipzig and Munich (1895-96). By 1897 Georg Jahn had returned to Dresden for good. He joined a newly formed artists' association, the \u003cem\u003eVerein Bildender Künstler Dresden\u003c\/em\u003e (Secession). His close friend Max Pietschmann introduced him to etching around that time. The technique would soon become all-consuming to Jahn, who is today almost exclusively remembered for his etchings. He is thought to have left over 300 compositions, which are executed with great detail. His fine line renders modulations of light in grayscales few etchers of his time were ever able to attain.  Portraits dominate his oeuvre, as do nudes, scenes of everyday life in small towns and along seashores.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"portrait-of-a-girl","title":"Portrait of a Girl","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eMädchenporträt \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e(original German title)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEtching with a touch of aquatint on thick wove paper.\u003cbr\u003ePrinted and published by \u003cem\u003eDer Gesellschaft für vervielfältigende Kunst\u003c\/em\u003e, Vienna.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JAHN, Georg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31917748289578,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2654\/1544\/products\/GeorgJahn-Maedchenportrat-PortraitofaGirl-GesellschaftfurvervielvfaltigendeKunstWien-Vienna-detail.jpg?v=1598567080"},{"product_id":"old-farmer-with-sideburns-side-view","title":"Old Farmer with Sideburns, Side View","description":"\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlter Bauer mit Koteletten, Seitenansich\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e (German title) \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEtching and aquatint on thick wove paper, no date. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEdition unknown, but likely scarce.
