August Gaul
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
August Gaul (October 22, 1869 - October 18, 1922) was a German sculptor. Founding member of the Berlin Secession and close to its secretaries, the cousins and art dealers Bruno and Paul Cassirer, August Gaul soon advanced to one of the most important figures in the Berlin art scene before World War I. "Paulchen & Gaulchen" promoted painters like Lovis Corinth and sculptors like Ernst Barlach.
Gaul died premature from cancer, and it is said that Paul Cassirer was a broken man, after this loose of one of his closest friends.
