He authored many publications including "Art as the first condition in the formation of society," and "Manual of Linear Drawing." - American biography: a new cyclopedia, Volume 5 By American Historical CompanyConrad Diehl was a well-regarded landscape, history, and still life painter, who also had a noted career as an art instructor and author. Born in Germany, Diehl spent his childhood in the Midwest; his father’s status as a revolutionary leader forced the family to flee to the United States after the German Revolution of 1848.
