Alice Summers

Alice Sommer (born December 13, 1898 in Dresden , † June 1, 1982 in Rotthalmünster ) was a German draftsman .

Life

Sommer attended the citizens 'school in Dresden , then the higher girls' school in Dresden-Altstadt , learned at the Royal School of Applied Arts (schoolgirls department), also in the fashion department. From 1920 she studied at the State Academy of Fine Arts , where she was awarded the Academy's certificate of honor as the highest honor for the academic years 1922, 1923 and 1924. The impressionist Max Feldbauer became her mentor and accepted her as an individual student. In recognition of her talent, Sommer was given an individual studio until 1924.

In 1927 Sommer married the violinist of the Dresden Staatskapelle Hans Morgenstern and gave up her artistic career. From 1928 she lived with her husband in an irregularly picturesque villa at Radebeuler Rosenstrasse 18 . Her sister was killed in the air raids on Dresden , and her parents' house (Breite Straße 8) was destroyed in 1945, along with a large part of her works.

Although Sommer's style was on the one hand strongly influenced by the artistic trends of her time - especially by her teacher Max Feldbauer - she developed her own style, for example through unusual perspectives in her drawings, which critics of clearly distinguishes the other artists of her time and makes her work an important part of the art of the 1920s.

Her husband died in 1966. In 1970 the artist moved to her son in Munich , and later both went to Lower Bavaria .
