Albert Aereboe

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Albert Aereboe (* 31 January 1889 in Lübeck ; † 6. August 1970 in Lübeck) was a German painter of modernity .

Life

Born in Lübeck as the son of the pastor at Lübeck Cathedral Carl Aereboe, he first attended the Katharineum and the Johanneum , before completing his technical and artistic training in Berlin in 1906 .

In 1910 he returned to Lübeck and attended Leo von Lütgendorff's art school there . On his recommendation, he went to Munich in 1912 to the Academy of Fine Arts and studied with Hugo von Habermann until 1915 . In 1916 he was drafted into military service. Around 1917 he was commissioned by the well-known violist Karl Reitz to design his living room at Holtenauer Straße 59a in Kiel (Brunswick) with wall paintings and integrated paintings, watercolors and drawings to create an interior . Only photographs of this work have survived. After the war, Aereboe worked as a freelancer, initially in Lübeck, and from 1925 on Sylt . In the meantime, he headed the decorative painting class at the Staatliche Kunstgewerbeschule in Kassel from 1919 to 1926 , where he was awarded the title of professor in 1923. Here he met the painter Julie Katz (1888–1927), who had led the textiles class from 1919 and became a professor in 1923; both married in 1922.

My ancestor Jens Aereboe counts as one of his outstanding works . The artist had painted his ancestor here , who was a Faustian . Like Dürer's Hieronymus, the latter sits in the housing, which is, however, very Nordic. Through the window you can see a bitter dune landscape and raindrops run down the glass. Inside there are connections to mathematics , optics and nautical science . In the middle is the spiritually worked through face of the ancestor. The suspended glass ball that overlaps Jens Aereboe's face is a symbol that can be understood without words. A naked woman comes through the door in the background, wrapped only in a waving veil. It is also of increased importance.

In the 1930s he also ran a studio in Berlin , but returned to Sylt in 1943, bombed out , and from 1959 onwards he worked exclusively in Lübeck.
