Am Kurfürstendamm
Lesser Ury
1910
This rainy streetscape exemplifies the style and subject matter for which Lesser Ury is best known. The Kurfürstendamm is one of Berlin’s most storied boulevards, known for its very wide walking paths that flank what was once a wide bridlepath and is today an automotive thoroughfare.

Born Leo Lesser Ury in Birnbaum, Prussia (today Międzychód, Poland), to a poor family, Ury spent his early adolescence in Berlin as a trader and painter. He eventually struck out on his own to study and explore art across Europe. Shaped in particular by his studies at the Kunstakademie in Dusseldorf, Ury was attracted to strong colors and eventually gravitated to Berlin, where he was always in the shadow of Max Liebermann, another pioneer of German Impressionism. Ury worked primarily with pastels to portray urban life, particularly rainy streetscapes, cafés, and parks. He frequently duplicated his own paintings and added a sense of movement and freneticism to the urban scenes that were popular in the German Secession movements.
