Carl Arp
Carl Arp was a German landscape painter. He is best known as a founding member of the Schleswig-Holsteinische Kunstgenossenschaft and representative of the Weimar Saxon-Grand Ducal Art School. Subsequent to his studies there under Theodor Hagen and Leopold von Kalckreuth, he spent several years in Italy. Carl Arp is viewed as one of the main representatives of the "en plein air" style of landscape painting.
Arp taught in Kiel und Weimar, and had exhibitions in Munich, Berlin and Düsseldorf. His works are exhibited in museums in Kiel, Danzig und Weimar. During the second world war, the SS Cap Tafelneh, sunk by German planes at Dunkirk and salvaged by the German navy, was named after him.
Arp's works are mostly oil or water colour paintings with motives from Schleswig-Holstein and the Kieler Förde, as well as his time in southern Germany and Italy.
