Franz Wilhelm Seiwert
Franz Wilhelm Seiwert (March 9, 1894 – July 3, 1933 was a German painter and sculptor in a constructivist style. Seiwert was born in Cologne. He was seriously burned in 1901, at the age of seven, in an experimental radiological treatment, and afterward feared that his life would be short. He studied from 1910 to 1914 at the Cologne School of Arts and Crafts. In 1919 he took part in Dada activities; he was invited to exhibit in the large Dada exhibit in Cologne but withdrew at the last moment. In that same year he met Max Ernst, and also formed the Stupid group which included Heinrich Hoerle and Anton Räderscheidt.
