George Herzog (1851-1920)
1904 Who’s Who in Penn.: George Herzog -
muralist
“Decorative artist; born and educated in Munich.
Bavaria; opened studio in Philadelphia, 1873 and continued in that field ever
since. His exhibits at the Centennial Exposition gained him two medals, one
from the judges of group seven, and the other from group twenty-seven, which
embodied plastic and graphic art. From that time on he rapidly advanced until
he became one of the best known decorators in the United States and won an international
reputation. He is well informed upon the traditions of art and architecture and
possesses not only the skill to illustrate his ideas rapidly by pencil, but
also to elaborate them with more carefully executed designs, which oftentimes
rival in delicacy miniature paintings. Some of his best work is found in the
Supreme Court rooms, City Hall, and the Masonic Temple. Philadelphia, showing
as it does his knowledge of historical and allegorical subjects and great skill
in representation, the purely decorative features so harmonizing with the
pictorial as to justify their being classed among the very finest examples of
decorative art. Among the many private residences decorated by him those of
John H. Converse, Thomas Dolan. Charles J. Harrah. Edwin H. Fitler, P. A. B.
Widener, William L. Elkins, and James Elverson ought to be mentioned. In all of his works he is most particular to
have his motif in exact accord with the style and character of the building, as
is exemplified in a remarkable degree, in the now famous Egyptian and
Corinthian Halls, Masonic Temple, Philadelphia, the finest structure of its
kind in the world.” (p 327) [It gives
his address as 3305 Arch St.]
