German painter, graphic artist, architect, designer, educator, writer, and socialist Heinrich Vogeler belonged to the first generation of the Worpswede artists' colony:

"What distinguishes Heinrich Vogeler from other artists of Art Nouveau and Symbolism is the carefree, fairytale quality of his imagery with its great narrative skill.  These fairytale images share an emphasis on a world of feeling in which mysterious events unfold." (Quote: Hans H. Hofstätter, "Symbolism and Art Nouveau in the paintings and graphic works of Heinrich Vogeler," 1992, www.heinrich-vogeler.de) (English translation)

[Deutscher Maler, Grafiker, Architekt, Designer, Pädagoge, Schriftsteller und Sozialist; gehörte zur ersten Generation der Künstlerkolonie Worpswede: "Was Heinrich Vogeler unter den anderen Künstlern des Jugendstils und des Symbolismus hervorhebt, ist die unbeschwerte Märchenhaftigkeit seiner Bilderwelt mit ihrer großen Fabulierkunst. Solchen Märchenbildern ist die Betonung einer Empfindungswelt gemeinsam, in der geheimnisvolle Vorgänge spielen." (Zitat: Hans H. Hofstätter, "Symbolismus und Jugendstil in Malerei und Grafik von Heinrich Vogeler," 1992, www.heinrich-vogeler.de)]
