Since its establishment in 1881, H. Schmincke & Co has held a prestigious position as a leading manufacturer of artist paints. Renowned artists like Otto Dix, Emil Nolde, and Oskar Kokoschka have relied on Schmincke's colors, as do numerous professional and amateur painters today. This company's history spans four generations, tracing its evolution from humble beginnings at the end of the 19th century to its current status as a renowned manufacturer. The narrative unfolds the story of H. Schmincke's modest beginnings and their inaugural product: oil paint. During a period of extraordinary artistic achievements in Europe and America, the company expanded its product line to include watercolors and pastels, further solidifying its reputation. This book also delves into the challenges faced by the Jewish owners during the Third Reich and their remarkable efforts to rebuild the company after its buildings were destroyed during the Second World War. Since then, H. Schmincke has experienced a period of both growth and adversity, navigating the post-war decades and the economic downturn caused by the collapse of the family business. Presently, the company is thriving in its fourth generation of ownership, facing global challenges and seizing opportunities with resilience and determination. Beautifully illustrated with artistic and archival images, this book offers a unique glimpse into the world of H. Schmincke, a company that has been dedicated to excellence in manufacturing and a deep engagement with the art world for nearly 150 years.
