The Life and Art of Max Lacher

Born in Munich, Germany, Max Lacher was a painter and photographer who developed a profound mastery over a vast array of artistic techniques. His formal training included studies at the Kunstgewerbeschule München and time as a student of Julius Diez at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste München. Following his education, Lacher lived freely in Paris in 1926 before working as a portrait painter in Hannover and Berlin.
