Philipp, Martin Ernst

(8/4/1887 Zwickau-1978) (Germany)

   Engraver, painter, and graphic artist. Attended the Arts and Crafts School in Dresden and the Dresden Art Academy where he studied under Richard Muller, Wintscher, and Gotthard Kuehl. Erotic works were a major portion of his creations, mostly in the form of print portfolios illustrating novels and poetry— an 8 etching series to Schlegel's Lucinde, 10 print series to Scheffner poems, 2 print series to De Regnier's Das Madchen in dem Porzel-lantrum and Die Schone Courlandon, and 12 print series to Verlaine's Femmes. Erotic works tend to emphasize period costumes and settings, mostly 18th century.
