Biographical Museums In Germany
A biography, or simply bio, is a detailed description of a person's life. It involves more than just the basic facts like education, work, relationships, and death; it portrays a person's experience of these life events. Unlike a profile or curriculum vitae ( résumé), a biography presents a subject's life story, highlighting various aspects of their life, including intimate details of experience, and may include an analysis of the subject's personality. Biographical works are usually non-fiction, but fiction can also be used to portray a person's life. One in-depth form of biographical coverage is called legacy writing. Works in diverse media, from literature to film, form the genre known as biography. An authorized biography is written with the permission, cooperation, and at times, participation of a subject or a subject's heirs. An autobiography is written by the person themselves, sometimes with the assistance of a collaborator or ghostwriter. History At first, biogr ...

Hut In Dachau Moors
''Hut in Dachau Moors'' is an oil on canvas painting by Franz Marc, executed in 1902. It is one of the painter's earliest known paintings and is part of the collection of the Franz Marc Museum in Kochel am See. History The painting was created in 1902 and thus comes from the time when Franz Marc studied painting at the Academy of Arts in Munich with Gabriel von Hackl (1843–1926) and Wilhelm von Diez (1839–1907). Through this, Marc received a solid basic education in the 19th century style of painting, but did not come into contact with newer art movements. Thus this picture, like others made in the same year, is entirely in the tradition of the Munich School.Susanna Partsch, ''Franz Marc''. Taschen, Cologne 2001, ISBN 3-8228-5585-5, p. 8 Description The lower half of the picture shows the moor landscape of the Dachau Moors, while the upper half is occupied by a sky with clouds.
