Early Life and Education Gerhard Marcks was born on February 18, 1889, in Berlin, Germany. At the age of 18, he began an apprenticeship with sculptor Richard Scheibe, where he honed his skills in sculpting animals using terracotta.

Scroll through Gerhard Marcks's working life — artwork by artwork, chapter by chapter — from the earliest dated work to the last. Each thumbnail is pinned at its exact year on the gold axis.
The ribbon is divided into shaded bands, one per career chapter. Each chapter groups Gerhard Marcks's works by their historical period — early training, mature practice, final years.
Every thumbnail is pinned at its precise creation year. A thin gold thread drops from the image to its exact point on the axis. Larger frames mark the artist's masterpieces by rank.
The gradient bar beneath the axis shifts colour as the dominant art movement changes over time — from the warm golds of the early period through the deeper tones of maturity. It fills progressively as you scroll.
