Alfred Kremer
Alfred Kremer (born December 17, 1895 in Regensburg , † March 6, 1965 in Weilheim in Upper Bavaria ) was a German painter. During the decades of his first creative phase, he mainly created works in oil on canvas; he was particularly strong in nude painting, which shows his fascination for human beauty. In the last three creative years, forced into sick bed, it was black and white works in small format, in which he dealt with inner experiences and public events - the injury to life always hit him in the heart. These “gestalt signs”, as he called them, in turn identify him as an esthete.
After the end of the First World War , whose shocking experiences as a soldier marked him throughout his life, he studied painting in Munich. He then studied at the Berlin German University for Physical Education and became a sports teacher. From 1930 to 1940 he was chief reporter for sports at the Bavarian radio station in Munich, and in 1936 Olympic reporter in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Berlin .
In the Second World War he was again drafted into military service. After the war he worked as a freelance artist in Munich and Weilheim. From 1949 to 1961 he was a member of the Neue Münchner Künstlergenossenschaft . Annual stays in Venice and recurring visits to Paris , Bologna etc. a. connected him to the art world of major European cities.
