Konrad Cramer was born and raised in Wurtzburg, Germany. He was introduced to avant-garde art while still a teenager when he saw the work of Wassily Kandinsky and met Karl Schmitt-Rottluff. Cramer married an American and moved to the United States in 1911. There, Cramer became involved with the activities of the American avant-garde, becoming an intimate of Alfred Stieglitz and members of his circle. Cramer was one of the most advanced painters working in America at this time, and was one of the first artists to paint non-objective paintings in the United States. |
