Theodor Grust (1859-1919) was a German genre and porcelain painter from the Saxon
town Meissen. Grust studied at the Academy in Dresden as a pupil of Theodor
Grosse. Later he went to Munich. The artist travelled to Belgium and to the
Netherlands before he settled down in his hometown Meissen. Grust worked there
in the famous porcelain manufacture, where he created abstract and linear
designs in the style of Henry van de Velde and pushed forward the development
of Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) in the factory. As a genre painter the artist
focused on bourgeois interiors. He was inspired by the great Flemish masters of
this genre. More
