Marcus Behmer Marcus Michael Douglas Behmer (b. 1879, Weimar, Germany, d. 1958, Berlin) began painting at an early age under the direction of his father who was also a painter. He worked primarily as an illustrator and graphic artist. His early work was heavily influenced by the work of Aubrey Beardsley. He achieved his first success in 1903 when he illustrated Oscar Wilde's Salome. He illustrated for the journals Die Insel, Simplicissimus and continued to do book illustrations until his death. He designed Stefan George-Schrift (1904, Otto von Holten), Behmer Antiqua or Behmer Schrift (1920, Otto von Holten), and Soncino Hebräisch (1927, cut by Georg Pfendt, Genzsch & Heyse, it influenced Friedlaender's Hadassah).
