Heinrich Zille

    January 10, 1858 – August 9, 1929

    Rudolf Zille captured the harsh realities of Berlin's working class with a unique blend of humor and deep empathy. His illustrations, frequently featured in the satirical weekly Simplicissimus, shed light on the desperate social conditions of tenement life. Zille's true gift lay in portraying the resilience of the human spirit, particularly among children, who found ways to thrive amidst profound poverty. Though he considered himself a craftsman rather than an artist, his work earned significant acclaim late in his life, culminating in recognition from prestigious institutions.
