Alfred Pauli (art historian)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alfred Pauli (* 1896 in Dresden ; † 1938 in Bremen ) was a German art historian, translator, illustrator and art dealer.

Life

Alfred Pauli was born in 1896 as the son of the art historian and later museum director Gustav Pauli and his wife, the writer Magdalene Pauli (also Marga Berck as a pseudonym). His grandfather was Alfred Dominicus Pauli , a lawyer, senator and mayor of the city of Bremen .

Early on he came into contact with writers from Bremen such as u. a. Rudolf Alexander Schröder , Alfred Heymel, as well as artists and art historians and their wives, who had gathered around his parents in Bremen as the intellectual circle of the so-called Golden Cloud , launched various artistic projects and invited guests from abroad such as B. Rudolf Borchardt , Hugo von Hofmannsthal and Alfred Lichtwark invited to readings and discussions.

In 1914 the family moved to Hamburg because his father was given the management of the art gallery.

He studied art history in Hamburg and received his doctorate in 1923 on Erhard Schön , a Nuremberg painter and wood cutter from the first half of the 16th century, whose domain included the illustrated leaflet on verses by Hans Sachs and other Nuremberg poets. After graduating, he first worked in an Amsterdam art shop and opened his own shop in Hamburg's Dammtorstrasse in 1935 . In the meantime he was briefly in the Reiter-SS , whereby a political proximity to National Socialism remains unclear.

As a result of an investigation opened against him in Hamburg in 1938 for alleged "homosexual bundling", he committed suicide. He probably had nothing to do with this group, but they had found his address and knew about his homosexuality. "Although nothing could be proven, he drove to Bremen and hanged himself there in an art shop," "where he was known and he pretended to be waiting for someone, and then hung himself up in the quiet of the noon hour."
