Hans Grundig (1901-1958) was a German artist born to a working class family. After joining the Communist Party he fell in love with Jewish born artist Lea Langer. Langers father objected to her political affiliation as well as her relationship to Grundig and in an attempt to seperate them he sent her to a sanitarium ... Grundig followed. Her father then sent her to Vienna ... again, Grundig followed and there they were married. Grundig’s art was condemned by the Nazi Party and he was deemed a degenerate artist. He was arrested several times and eventually sent to a concentration camp. Langer was able to escape to Palestine where she remained until 1959 when the couple reunited ... both became professors of art
