Henry Dieckmann was born in Verden, Germany in 1933. After World War
II, Henry worked at the German Federal Railroad factory in Verden, In
his spare time he used to watch life on the farm.

Henry Dieckmann is an autodidact and it is easy to notice that his work
is affected from the memories of his life during the past century. His
work is a nostalgic touch of a simple life, non technologic, that
induces in the viewer a longing for the recent past. Henry's paintings
illustrate the daily life of common people in their free time with
typical Parisian city landscapes.

Henry Dieckmann lives and works in Bremen. He often spends his holidays
 in France, and his special love is the city of Paris.
