Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Geist (9 December 1870, Reichelsheim - 29 November 1931, Bad Wimpfen) was a German Impressionist painter.
Reichelsheim (Odenwald) is a community in the Odenwaldkreis (district) in Hesse, Germany.
His father was the district veterinarian. In 1871, his family moved to Grünberg and he attended the Gymnasium in Laubach. In 1888, he entered the Academy of Fine Arts, Karlsruhe, where he studied under Ferdinand Keller. With a scholarship from the Grand Ducal Ministry of the Interior, he undertook further studies in Munich, Vienna and Italy. In 1900, he exhibited at the Glaspalast. Although he was officially enrolled at Karlsruhe until 1905, he actually pursued his studies with Robert von Haug in Stuttgart. He briefly lived in Darmstadt, then returned to Grünberg in 1905 although, as a free-lance painter, he travelled frequently to visit his clients. After 1915 he lived in Wimpfen.

World War I hit him very hard; especially the loss of friends such as August Macke and Franz Marc. In response, he abandoned impressionism for a gloomier Academic style and his output decreased dramatically.
August Macke was a German Expressionist painter. He was one of the leading members of the German Expressionist group Der Blaue Reiter. He lived during a particularly innovative time for German art: he saw the development of the main German Expressionist movements as well as the arrival of the successive avant-garde movements which were forming in the rest of Europe. Like a true artist of his time, Macke knew how to integrate into his painting the elements of the avant-garde which most interested him.
Franz Moritz Wilhelm Marc was a German painter and printmaker, one of the key figures of German Expressionism. He was a founding member of Der Blaue Reiter, a journal whose name later became synonymous with the circle of artists collaborating in it.
Academic art, or academicism or academism, is a style of painting, sculpture, and architecture produced under the influence of European academies of art. Specifically, academic art is the art and artists influenced by the standards of the French Académie des Beaux-Arts, which was practiced under the movements of Neoclassicism and Romanticism, and the art that followed these two movements in the attempt to synthesize both of their styles, and which is best reflected by the paintings of William-Adolphe Bouguereau, Thomas Couture, and Hans Makart. In this context it is often called "academism", "academicism", "art pompier" (pejoratively), and "eclecticism", and sometimes linked with "historicism" and "syncretism".
