Willi Kissmer

Willi Kissmer was born in Duisburg, Germany, in 1951. Multi-talented as a teenager, Kissmer was undecided whether to dedicate himself to the visual arts or music. He studied at the Folkwangscule, University of Essen, and later taught printmaking at the University of Duisberg. As for his music, Kissmer is now an accomplished guitarist and has recorded three albums to date. Although Kissmer's art is relatively new to North America, the artist is no stranger to the Americas, Europe, the Former Soviet Union, or Asia, all through which he has traveled extensively. Described as a contemporary master, Kissmer has been represented by galleries and museums from California to Leningrad. [more]
