Franz Heckendorf (5 November 1888 – 17 August 1962) was a German expressionist painter closely associated with the Berlin Secession.[1] He contributed works to the painting event in the art competition at the 1928 Summer Olympics.[2] His work was highly regarded during the Weimar Republic but from 1937 was classed as entartete Kunst.[3] During World War II, he was incarcerated in various prisons and eventually in Mauthausen concentration camp for helping Jews escape over the Swiss border.[4]
