Franz Stassen (1869-1949) was somehow controversial German painter and illustrator who excelled especially in the fields of folklore and mythology. During his career, he painted numerous paintings and illustrated dozens of books yet he created a lot more. He also designed posters and postcards, sketched stage settings, created tapestries, and even designed documents. While his legacy is tarnished by his political views we can't deny his talent, skills, and adaptability to the always unpredictable market.
Here are just 10 ways how Franz Stassen earned his money:

What do you think about Franz Stassen?
I don't know how many still life paintings he made. When he became successful probably none. He earned way more by commisions from Bayreuth and by portraits. This still-life was sold, if I remember correctly, for about 300 or 400 hundred Euros.
His signature is composed from F and St.
In my opinion art should always reflect the situations in present but offering the answers which are universal. By default, art should be a critic, no matter what political option is temporarily n power.
The 20th and the 21st centuries are not always accurate about whom they extol.
A question that I have about Franz Stassen is whether or not he jumped or was pushed politically. It would have been uncomfortable to be an artist in politically strident times, correct?
The second image, between the second and the third facts, Landscapes and Book illustrations, has the Stassen signature in the lower right corner.
What is the mark that appears third, after F for Franz and S for Stassen?
This is somewhat related, somewhat unrelated because it's about Franz Stassen, but not as an artist.
Might you have heard of the Unitedstatesian politician Harold Stassen? The latter must have made a record number of unsuccessful runs for the presidency in the 20th century.
Family historians say that the ears show sometimes whether or not someone is related. Franz and Harold Stassen showed the same configuration -- with the outer rim growing noticeably inward about halfway between highest and lowest reaches --- for their right ears and the same configuration -- straight outer rim -- for their left ears.
Would you happen to have come across anything about the two 20th-century Stassen men as being related?
Unitedstatesian sources only write of the Harold Stassen genealogy as son of a German mother and of a Czech and German father. They write the last name as originally Dutch, nicknamed for Eustathius.
Your first fact, about Stassen still lifes, divulges your finding an auctioned, signed Stassen still life from 1935.
Was there any indication as to what the price was, who the owner was and who the purchaser was?
The first fact focuses upon still life even as that fact furnishes Stassen as not one of its enthusiastic advocates or practitioners.
There must be some inventory of the total number of Stassen artworks and of their representation in each art category, correct?
How many of his artworks were still lifes (probably way more than he liked ;-D!)?
The first image, of the still-life flowers and fruits, indicates that Stassen indeed had an understanding of how edibles arrange themselves naturally and of how they drape under human influences.
It's a bit amusing to me to see all these white cloths upon which fruit containers lie.
How little, how much time might go by before the moisture from the berries and fruits would stain the table cloths in most un-artistic, un-attractive ways not at all appealing to being crushed into drinks or eaten as is?!
Online sources are not in agreement as to the origins and the types of still-life art.
Some sources categorize still life as of blooms, meals, symbols and wildlife.
Does Franz Stassen's still-life art fit into certain categories, for certain purposes?
