BIOGRAPHY: Born in 1909, Herbert H. Scheffel was largely influenced by the 1920s. Important artistic innovations that had been established in the earlier part of the 20th century continued to be developed during the 1920s and 1930s. During this period the careers of a number of influential and pioneering artists began to blossom, yet at the same time there was an atmosphere of consideration and sombreness following the horrors of the First World War. Significant shifts in politics were taking place worldwide, and Marxism took a strong hold as an ideology within artist groups and communities. Due to its cultural significance, Surrealism spread as an ideology on an international scale, and became the most prominent theme of the pictorial arts in the 1920s. The Bauhaus movement developed during this time and focused on a unification of all modes of art, working towards the idea of the '˜Gesamtkunstwerk'. The liberal politics of the Weimar Republic in Germany enabled this movement to blossom and flourish and develop further. The main focus for art during this time was on Freudian theory and the human subconscious, and these ideas were best portrayed by artists including Salvador Dali, Giorgio de Chirico, Andre Breton, Rene Magritte and Paul Delvaux, whilst in Paris, artists such as Brancusi, Modigliani and Soutine established methods of art which were vivid and dynamic. A resident of Clifton, New Jersey, Herbert Scheffel was a painter and commercial artist and was also with the Glen Rock Puppeteers, 1937 to 1938. He studied at the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art, New School of Social Research in New York, and Cape Cod School of Art with Henry Hensche and Bernard Gussow. Memberships included the American Watercolor Society, Washington Watercolor Club, New Jersey Watercolor Society, Audubon Artists, Rockport Art Association and Boston Society of Independent Artists. He exhibited with the American Artists Professional League.
