Adalbert Trillhaase
Adalbert Trillhaase (born January 7, 1858 in Erfurt , † May 12, 1936 in Niederdollendorf ) was a German painter of naive painting direction .
Life
Trillhaase came from a bourgeois, religious family from Erfurt and settled in Düsseldorf in 1919 . He was inspired to paint by Otto Pankok from the artist group “ Young Rhineland ” and took part in the meetings at Mother Ey 's. After several exhibitions from 1925 onwards, he was banned from painting by the National Socialists as a degenerate artist .
Trillhaase died unnoticed on May 12, 1936 in Niederdollendorf.
plant
Trillhaase often painted biblical scenes and left a large proportion of drawings . In comparison with other naive artists, the number of his works is small (approx. 75 paintings and 250 drawings).
Its importance lies in the impartial and refreshingly new presentation and composition of its subjects. He translates his childlike religious ideas into an individual world of images that are not idyllic and idealizing and thus question a stereotype of naive art.
The often demonic-looking representations are interpreted as coping with his fears and aggressions. Otto Dix captured Trillhaase's depressing family situation in "Portrait of the Adalbert Trillhaase Family".
Works
Estimated: 75 oil paintings, 250 drawings (the estate is not fully secured), his daughter Felicitas Haller, b. Trillhaase (called "Chichio", 1894–1961), briefly wife of the sculptor Hermann Haller , brought the pictures to Switzerland.
