About Dr. Leo Falkenstein

Leo Falkenstein was born on December 11, 1890 in the town of Wallau in the province of Hesse-Nassau in the Kingdom of Prussia. His father, Phillip Gabriel Falkenstein, was born November 22, 1864 in Schermbeck, Nordrhein-Westfallen. His mother, Rosalie Falkenstein (Plaut), was born April 25, 1869 in Eschwege, Hessonia.

His love of art

Leo was a talented artist and had ambitions of studying architecture as a young man. He became a physician, but always had an eye for beautiful art.  In his later years he collected prints by the "old masters" as well as works by contemporary artists. Many of his collected works are in the gallery. 

His love of gardening

Leo's father was a Rabbi and gardening teacher who gave Leo a lifelong love for vegetable and flower gardens.  Leo tended a large and wonderful garden at the home he shared with his wife and daughter from 1926 to 1939 in Gotha, Germany.

What you can expect

You'll be able to see prints from Albrecht Dürer and others of the same period.

The gallery is a small but significant gem in Columbia Missouri's North Village Arts District.
