Tomi Ungerer (2017)

Jean-Thomas "Tomi" Ungerer (born November 28, 1931 in Strasbourg , † February 9, 2019 in Cork , Ireland ) was a French graphic artist , writer and illustrator of picture books for children and adults. Ungerer saw himself as an Alsatian and a staunch European , but remained a skeptic of the European bureaucracy . From 1976 onwards he lived alternately in Ireland and Strasbourg.

Life

childhood

Tower clock (1921) of the Strasbourg cathedral by J. & A. Ungerer

Tomi Ungerer was born in 1931, after two sisters and a brother, as the youngest child in the family. His father Théodore Ungerer and grandfather Alfred Ungerer worked as clockmakers and tower clock manufacturers. Théodore Ungerer was also an artist, historian and book collector. He waited u. a. the astronomical clock of the Strasbourg cathedral . He also designed and built the largest astronomical clock in the world in the Cathedral of Messina in Sicily. Ungerer's mother Alice, née Essler (1896–1989), came from a family of industrialists in the Upper Rhine region. He never really got to know his father, who died of blood poisoning in 1935 when Tomi was almost four years old. Later he dedicated some picture books specifically to four-year-old children.

After the death of her father, Tomi and his three siblings moved back to their parents' house in Logelbach, an industrial suburb of Colmar , which was made available by the Haussmann company. Ungerer's mother's father was technical director at the Haussmann spinning mill. Ungerer was kept away from his playmates as a child, and only French was spoken at home, as Alsatian was considered the language of the people. In his children's book No Kiss for Mother (1974) he alludes to this care. As the youngest in the family, he was never listened to or taken seriously, but he was let go of all the tricks.

Ungerer was not enrolled in elementary school until he was nine because of the German occupation , which had introduced compulsory education. Within three months he learned the standard German language and the Alsatian dialect. In addition, he came into contact for the first time with the simple village children, from whom his mother had wanted to keep him away. In this way he initially experienced the German occupation as a personal liberation. Ungerer learned to adapt; at home he was French, at school the German Hans and with his playmates an Alsatian. Despite these hardships, he assessed his family life as educational and uplifting for mind and spirit: “I really grew up with a respect for the beauty of nature. And that has totally shaped me, my whole life. We had a real old-fashioned family life: every night after dinner there was played cards, read from books or sang. ”He was encouraged to draw and write from an early age. His bus stop to the " Matthias Grünewald School, High School for Boys" (today Lycée Bartholdi ) in Colmar was in front of the Musée d'Unterlinden , where he always stayed when it was raining and was able to admire Grünewald's Isenheimer altar as often as possible. 

His school years were increasingly marked by war and occupation. A Wehrmacht officer was quartered on the ground floor of his parents' house . Opposite was the Haussmann factory, which was converted into a prison camp. In the winter of 1944/1945, trench warfare took place for three weeks over the Alsace bridgehead ( Poche de Colmar in French ). Ungerer went through two changes of the language of instruction from French to German by authoritarian, National Socialist teachers and back again to French, which was now just as consistently enforced. He was also burdened by the fact that not only standard German, but also the regional dialect was forbidden. Therefore, he described the French approach as a "cultural crime" (crime culturel) and a "cultural murder". He was advised to shed his accent before studying French literature. This led to difficulties with French, so that he narrowly missed the Baccalauréat (Abitur). Eventually he was judged by the school principal to be "perverse and subversive" on his diploma. During the German occupation he learned English so well using the Berlitz method that he was able to work as an interpreter for the French officers after the war .

Wandering years

At the age of twelve he wrote in his exercise book: “I will be the wanderer.” His early years actually turned into restless years of apprenticeship and wandering, he rode his bike through France and later across Europe. The trips also led him to a Méhari Camel Riders - Regiment in Algeria in the French Foreign Legion , where were sung under the direction of Ungerer Nazi songs while marching. Because of pleurisy , he was in the hospital for six months, during which time he learned about Arabic music. After his retirement, his wanderings led him on foot and by hitchhiking to northern Norway near Murmansk in the Soviet border area, after which he was on small freighters as a sailor in the North Atlantic. In October 1953 he enrolled for a few months in the Strasbourg École Municipale des Arts Décoratifs .

On the one hand, he had respect for the educated middle class , developed a love for books and especially valued painting. On the other hand, he also had great energy and willpower to deal with new things and to overcome boundaries, which also brought him closer to American culture in Strasbourg. In the American cultural center ( Center Culturel Américain , then in the American Consulate General) he discovered the works of cartoonist Saul Steinberg and the illustrator James Thurber . It was there that he met the American Fulbright student Nancy White, with whom he made a trip to Europe and whom he later married. He soon made up his mind to seek his fortune in the New World .

United States

In 1956 Ungerer emigrated to the USA, New York , with 60 dollars and a few drawings in his pocket . Malnourished and delayed pleurisy , he was turned away from a hospital emergency room, where he was denied treatment because he did not have enough money to get treatment. The next day he called on Harper 's children's book editor , Ursula Nordström , to get a contract for his children's book. Nordström regrettably refused, but after his collapse she finally granted him an advance of $ 500 in cash. In 1957 he won his first prize for his first illustrated children's book, The Mellops go flying , a story about little pigs. Programmatically for his life's work, the figures of the little pigs combined childlike innocence and, in symbolic terms, vice. The book became a bestseller. In the same year he made contact with his later in-house publisher, the Zurich Diogenes Verlag . Now he worked as a draftsman, painter, illustrator, children's book author and commercial artist.

In 1956 he married Nancy White in the USA, with whom he had lived since his arrival. Since she was the daughter of a sheriff of Amarillo , she could him in the rapid approval of the green card help. In 1959 he married in his second marriage the editor and journalist Miriam Strandquest , with whom he had the daughter Phoebe (* May 24, 1961).

In the mid-1960s, Ungerer shocked people with his cartoon volumes, Secret Sketchbook and The Party , in which he targeted the New York crowd in a drastic and satirical manner . Ungerer's creativity no longer knew any genre boundaries, and he liked to use all drawing techniques. In 1969 Fornicon appeared , which was later banned in England. The cartoons exposed potency, sexism and greed. His brutality and radicalism always remained the means of a moralist. The irony of the sexual practices depicted was based on the principle of exaggeration and excess of a never-before-seen mechanization and mechanization of sexual desires. Ungerer was therefore not only confronted with prudery in the USA and England, but later also with the vengeance of the East Coast - high society .

In addition, he also drew film posters a. a. for the star directors Stanley Kubrick ( Dr. Seltsam ) and Otto Preminger . During his time in New York, he shared a vacation home on Long Island with the writer Philip Roth . His other literary friends included Tom Wolfe and Saul Bellow .

Despite a liberal spirit of optimism in the USA, his satirical and erotomaniac drawings met with increasing criticism there. Ungerer was observed and interrogated by the FBI , and his children's books were banned. No Kiss for Mother received the award for the worst children's book in the United States because a. Toby smokes a cigar with his friend and a bottle of schnapps is on the table at breakfast with his parents. With pictures like these, he credited himself with introducing a new realism into children's book literature: “Nobody has shattered children's book taboos as I have.” In his children's books, animals such as snakes, donkeys, pigs, squids and bats have a positive rating Main role in order to break down prejudices against animals and in general.

Gradual homecoming

Tomi Ungerer (2014)

Ungerer left New York City in 1971 after 14 years and looked for rural peace and inspiration with his third wife, the American Yvonne Wright, on a farm in Nova Scotia, Canada . The previous city dwellers wanted to live self-sufficiently there by growing their own vegetables, raising cattle and learning to slaughter with the greatest effort and willpower. After years of work on the illustrations for the folk song collection Das Große Liederbuch (1975), homesickness drove him back to Europe.

Since 1976 Ungerer lived with his third wife Yvonne Wright, his daughter Aria (born 1976) and his two sons Lukas (born 1978) and Pascal (born 1980) alternately in Strasbourg and on a 160 hectare farm near the city of Cork in Ireland's south west province of Munster . There he devoted himself to raising sheep and cattle. In 1985, he lived for several months in Hamburg at the time as a dominatrix make Domenica Niehoff to ideas for a picture and interview book about BDSM to bring practices ( Guardian Angels of Hell , 1986).

While in the USA he was still working on many advertising contracts for large companies such as Pepsi-Cola , Calvert Company, TWA and the New York Times , in Europe he largely limited himself to the offers that Robert Pütz's Cologne agency brokered for him. In the 1970s, for example, he was an advertising artist for the northern French food producer Bonduelle . At the beginning of the 1980s, Ungerer designed a new advertising image for the German computer manufacturer Nixdorf and designed wall calendars with historical typewriters and calculators.

From the 1970s he was committed to the Franco-German friendship and was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit in 1993 . His political commitment earned him the series of advertisements for the legendary federal election campaign in 1972 (“Willy select”), which was self-deprecatingly and at the same time self-confidently entitled “In terms of the SPD - we against us!”. Ungerer had known Willy Brandt and Günter Grass since 1962. In the end, Willy Brandt's SPD landed a sensational victory, with 45.8 percent of the second votes the best election result in its history and for the first time the strongest parliamentary group in the Bundestag.  

Funeral for Ungerer in Strasbourg Cathedral (2019)

In his last 40 years he put around 40,000 drawings on paper and published over 140 books. From 1979 his works were shown in around 100 exhibitions. His books have been translated into over 28 languages.

Ungerer called himself a "recorder": "I draw what I write down and I write down what I draw in order to express a thought clearly, briefly and to the point."

In the mid-2000s, Ungerer overcame a long-lasting, severe health crisis with three heart attacks , one cancer and then found his way back to his old productivity. After losing his sight, he had to learn to draw again because of the lack of spatial vision. He died on the night of February 8-9, 2019 at the age of 87 at his daughter Aria's home in Cork, Ireland. Ungerer passed away peacefully with a book of Nabokov letters next to him. His last will was for his ashes to be divided between Strasbourg and Ireland. At a funeral service in the Strasbourg Cathedral a . a. with Archbishop Luc Ravel and chansonnier Roger Siffer , around 1,000 people said goodbye to him.

Working method

Ungerer complained all his life about his flood of ideas, his head would only explode with new ideas: "" Does he experience the explosion as a moment of joy? " “Everything happens with impatience, I'm almost blind with impatience. When I work on one thing, on a book or now on these collages , then I go for it - in quick succession. ”“ He learned the high pace of work in order to relieve himself from constant pressure:

"" I can't leaf through a newspaper or magazine without discovering ten options for a collage or story. [...] I cannot follow the individual threads, one is always lost and reappears at some point later. I have too many ideas but I don't have the energy to bring them all out. I have at least fifteen books that have not yet been written or drawn. Boxes of records of my life in Ireland, a whole chronicle. It's almost a panic of ideas. I wake up in the morning and there it is, a long line of ideas all waiting to be used. And they beg: <Please use me, please use me!> Then I write two sentences at once, make a few sketches, but then I think of an object and run into the workshop. It's crazy, I'm under a lot of pressure all the time. ""

- Tomi Ungerer, 2010.

As a result, over the years he created an " immense oeuvre " that has been compared several times with Picasso's life's work . “Mostly he works on ten or twelve works of art at the same time. As far as the sheer mass of his works is concerned, he doesn't have to shy away from the comparison with Picasso. ”(Martin Zips, 2011)“ He's certainly a great caricaturist, but in the end he is a great artist [...] and in abundance he is absolutely unique. [...] We only know something like this from Picasso ... "( Werner Spies , 2010) In addition, his high productivity promoted the fact that he did not limit his drawing material to the pen, but used all possible drawing instruments:" He tries everything with the same enthusiasm and in every medium: pencil, crayon, charcoal , chalk, felt-tip pen, ink , watercolors , tempera , oil paints , collage and sculpture - he has mastered them all. ”( Peter Sís , 2010)

His drawing style is praised by colleagues as an “art of omission” because he was able to express as much as possible with as few lines as necessary. “I didn't know any other artist who could tackle a subject with such intensity and concentration, and“ with the left hand ”as it seemed. Its lines are simply phenomenal. Ungerer is a master at achieving a lot with little. Randolph Caldecott described this method of drawing and illustration as the "scientific art of omission" and said: "The fewer lines, the fewer mistakes." There is no better way to express it. ”( Peter Sís , 2010) This style has also been described as an“ obsessive search for the perfect line ”. Because Ungerer was seldom satisfied with his first draft straight away. Only after several attempts was he convinced of the result.

“When he draws, Ungerer never uses an eraser, preferring to redraw something as often as 30 times to get it right, but without losing the spontaneity. He is rarely satisfied, and hates to look back at his work. "

“When he draws, Ungerer never uses an eraser and prefers to redraw something up to 30 times to get it right, but without losing spontaneity. He is rarely satisfied and hates looking back on his work. "

- Joanna Carey, The Guardian , 2012.

His light-handed lines have therefore been worked out "strictly and precisely". “The graphical lightness that characterizes his work and makes it appear so natural is in reality the result of strict discipline.” Ungerer described it with a comparison: “I compare drawing with surgery. A pen or a pen performs an operation on the paper. "

His concentration of meaning on the picture is also valued. For the publisher Susan Hirschman, Ungerer's early children's book Crictor, die gute Schlange (1959) is an example of a "perfect picture book": "... because of what he leaves out in the text and adds to the pictures."

Alsatian identity

Tomi Ungerer repeatedly emphasized his Alsatian identity, which lies on the borderline between French and German culture, and vehemently criticized French centralism, which aims to eradicate the Alsatian language.

La liberté c'est avant tout le droit de l'individu à sa propre identité. L'égalité c'est l'harmonie entre les différences qui se complètent. La fraternité se crée dans le respect de l'identité des autres.
Pour le jacobinisme centraliste français avec son idéal de citoyens identiques issus d'un moule scolaire, ceci est anathème!
Pour faire de nous Alsaciens, une région de Kougelhopfs et de Dumkopfs docilisés, la France de l'après-guerre a commis, un assassinat culturel. Par le biais de l'enseignement, elle s'est acharnée à nous déraciner de nos origines qui sont germaniques. Même s'il est préférable que nous soyons les Allemands de la France plutôt que les Français de l'Allemagne, nous n'en sommes pas moins stigmatisés, nous sommes les Ploucs on the Rhine, jadis tout simplement des sales boches! Ceci a changé avec le rapprochement franco-allemand, un miracle historique sans précédent et de plus avec une Europe intégratrice. Je ne dis plus que l'Alsace c'est comme des toilettes, toujours occupée… La decentralization in France a fait des progresses.
L'Alsacien est une langue alémanique, analogue au vieil allemand. Nulle part en France vous ne trouverez des localités comme Ichtratzheím ou Souffelweyersheim heureusement intraduisibles, comme Rappschwihr donc Rappelsweiler gallinisé en Ribeauvillé.

“Freedom is above all the right of the individual to his own identity. Equality is the harmony between complementary differences. Fraternity is created with respect for the identity of others.
For French centralist Jacobinism, with its ideal of identical citizens formed by the school, this is an abomination!
In order to make us Alsatians a region of Kougelhopfs and docile dummies , France attempted cultural murder after the war. Through one-sided teaching, it worked tirelessly to uproot us from our Germanic origins. Even if it is better that we are the Germans of France instead of the French of Germany, we are no less stigmatized, we are the back forests on the Rhine, quite simply former dirty boches !
This has changed with the Franco-German rapprochement, an unprecedented historical miracle and, moreover, with an integrating Europe. I am no longer saying that Alsace is like the toilets that are always occupied ... Decentralization in France has made progress.
Alsatian is an Alemannic language, analogous to Old German. Nowhere in France are there places like Ichtratzheim or Souffelweyersheim, which fortunately cannot be translated, like Rappschwihr, that is Rappelsweiler, which was Gallinized to Ribeauvillé. "

- Tomi Ungerer : Speech in Strasbourg on 7 September 2009

In the cited speech, Ungerer called on the Alsatians to continue speaking Alsatian at home and to work for institutions that propagated Alsatian. The German language must be taught in elementary schools. About the loss and disregard for the Alsatian language on the part of official France, he feels "sadness, anger and disgust" ( "J'en épouve de la tristesse, de la colère et du dégoût" ).

Social and cultural engagement

In addition to his artistic work, Ungerer campaigned, among other things, for campaigns and programs to get juvenile offenders off the streets, for the integration of immigrants in French schools and for help for AIDS patients and children with cancer. Ungerer did not see himself as a French or German, but as an Alsatian and described himself as a staunch European. Therefore, the preservation and promotion of Alsatian and thus bilingualism in Alsatian schools was a major concern for him. In the summer of 2010 he made selected graphics and drawings available for an exhibition at the Osthofen Concentration Camp Memorial near Worms.

Ungerer was also a gourmet , and as a connoisseur of Alsatian-Baden cuisine, he was also friends with master chefs, for example with Philippe Schadt in Blaesheim (Chez Philippe) , with the chansonnier and cabaret director Roger Siffer or with Karl-Josef Fuchs in Münstertal (Black Forest) ) ; for their guests they exhibit Ungerer's watercolors and drawings. Many Alsatian wine bars ( Winstub ) accepted watercolors from him as payment and presented them to their guests.

Tomi Ungerer Museum

Tomi Ungerer Museum
Foyer with toy airplane

The Musée Tomi Ungerer - center international de l'illustration has been located in Strasbourg since 2007 . He was the first living artist in France to have his own museum dedicated to him. Ungerer stated that there had once been an ordinance not to donate a museum to any living artist in France. This was followed in May 2014 by the Musée Soulages in Rodez for the painter and graphic artist Pierre Soulages . The museum collection is based on a gift from Ungerer with part of his graphic life's work (8000 drawings, 2000 posters, graphics, etc.) as well as a large toy collection, the family archive, press articles and photographs. The exhibition changes three times a year, each time 300 works are presented.

After many years of preparation and delays, the museum was opened on November 2nd, 2007 in the classicist "Villa Greiner" in the city center of Strasbourg. It is located right next to the National Theater. It is planned to expand the second half of Villa Greiner into a collection of works by those cartoonists and draftsmen whose works Ungerer influenced. On the occasion of the "Tomi Ungerer Year 2011" in Strasbourg on his 80th birthday, a 2.40 meter high metal figure based on his design was set up in the garden of the villa.

The interior of the museum - ceilings, walls, stairwells and the floor - are kept entirely in neutral white, like Ungerer's apartment.

architecture

In addition to his graphic work, Ungerer also designed architectural designs. On the occasion of Strasbourg's two thousandth anniversary in 1988, he designed a monument ensemble in which a Janus- headed bronze head is surmounted by three pillars of a Roman aqueduct . The aqueduct actually carries water that falls into a basin at both ends of the viaduct. The ensemble is variously referred to as the “Aqueduct of Janus” (l'Aqueduc de Janus) or the Janus fountain (Fontaine de Janus) and symbolizes the dual culture of the city, which was shaped by Germany and France. It is located on place Broglie next to the Opéra du Rhin .

In 2002, which was kindergarten Wolfartsweier in the Karlsruhe district Wolfartsweier after conception opened by Ungerer. The shape of the building resembles a stylized cat, so the main entrance is also the cat's mouth. The "tail of the cat" serves as a slide into the open air. He also dedicated this - accessible - sculpture to the Franco-German friendship and a cooperation "without borders" between Baden-Württemberg and Alsace.

Ungerer's third excursion into architecture met with less approval. Initially, a majority of the Plochingen city ​​council voted for the construction of a public toilet, which Ungerer had equipped with an oversized human rump as a roof. Due to violent protests on the part of the population, the mayor saw himself compelled in 2007 to ask Ungerer for another implementation. His second draft without Po was therefore received with great relief and general approval and opened on September 15, 2007 in his presence under the name les toilettes .

Quotes

  • Tomi Ungerer about his parents:
    “My father drew them like a vamp . And also photographed them. Everything was connected, everything connected. "(April 18, 2004)
  • About Alsace:
    "You have to ask yourself whether Alsace has not landed directly from the Middle Ages into retirement age, the snail-like Alsatian creature."
  • “However, the Alsatian still suffers from feelings of insecurity and a divided identity. What am I? By commuting between two powers, we have enough doubts to make good comparisons. Relativity feeds our humor, a humor (like Jewish or Irish) of the minority. [...] My Alsatian humor helped me to overcome my inner anger, disgust and frustration and to respect and like people as long as they suppress their arrogance. "
    (In: Hornbostel 1999, 7)
  • About his life:
    "I was always interested in birds - and birds too, both."
  • “I didn't have a high school diploma. I even hitchhiked to Karlsruhe to see if I could study mineralogy and geology there. No, it wasn't possible without a high school diploma. And now I'm from the same university as a doctor honoris causa. It's incredible."
  • “My satires had become harder, the Americans couldn't accept that. I was attacked in Congress about how dare I make children's books with erotic drawings. I replied that without sex there would be no children. After that I was finished in America. Until eight years ago my books were on the black list. ”[1993]. "Since then I have been allergic to America, but not to Americans, after all my wife is American." (November 26, 2001)
  • “How can one hope with hopelessness in the world? I carry Weltschmerz on my shoulders. I can only defeat this by being active. I can say that half of my life and my work are for good things. You only have to visit children with cancer in a hospital. Everyone should have done this once. Every person with depression should be told: No, don't go to a psychiatrist, go to a ward with children with cancer. Then you will see how lucky you are. "(July 13, 2006)
  • “My relationship with death, for me death is a friend. I've been dead three times now and each time it was a great experience for me. In a coma. This light, no guilt. This is really unique [...] I live with a longing for death. "
