HAIDER, KARL ), German landscape painter, was born in 1846. He studied at Munich under Anschiitz and was a contemporary and friend of Leibe, who painted his portrait in a picture called "The Art Critics" in 1868. Although he lived and worked in the midst of genre painters, Haider turned to landscape and became a great linear stylist. He settled beside the Schliersee, at the foot of the Alps, and the lake inspired much of his best work. His remarkable smoothness of line lent austerity to his pictures, which usually convey an impression of intense stillness.
