About the author
Bô Yin Râ
219 books14 followersPseudomym of Joseph Anton Schneiderfranken. The father, Joseph S., was a native of Burgstadt, Franconia. The mother, Maria Anna, née Albert, came from Hosbach, near Aschaffenburg.
Schneiderfranken was graduated from the Städelsche Art Institute at the conclusion of the summer semester 1899, in the master class of Prof. W.A. Beer (1837-1907). From September 1900 to the end of June 1901 his studies were continued at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, under Prof. Ch. Griepenkerl (1839-1916). In the fall of 1901 he briefly lived in Munich, where he later made his residence for longer periods. Here a fellow painter, Gino Parin (1876-1944), was his studio neighbor and became a friend whose skill and expertise he counted very valuable.
In the early summer of 1902 he attended the Académie Julian in Paris, where his teachers were Tony Robert-Fleury (1837-1911) and Jules Joseph Lefebvre (1836-1912).
In 1906 a collection of his pen-and-ink and pencil drawings was exhibited at the Kunstverein at Leipzig. That year he traveled for six weeks in Italy. In 1908 he also visited the south of Sweden. During the next few years, 1909-1912, his studio was in Munich.
From 1913 to 1915 he worked again in Munich. In 1915 the E. Schulte Gallery in Berlin exhibited a collection of his Greek landscapes.
Until the spring of 1923 the author lived and worked in Görlitz.
