Life

Anneliese Everts was born on January 12, 1908 in Solingen-Widdert. A. Everts dedicated her life to painting as one of the West German artists who brought vibrancy and poetry into the post-war period.

Anneliese Everts worked for the Höhscheid city administration and Solingen city administration from 1925 to 1937. At the same time further training in drawing, painting and modeling at the technical school for metal design in Solingen (teachers Füllbeck and Hoppe) and with the painter Eichenberg. As early as 1928 she made the first major Mediterranean voyage, which was followed by further trips to Italy, Austria, Switzerland and the Baltic Sea in the 1930s. She works as a freelancer for the Solinger Tageblatt and as a graphic designer. From 1937 to 1939 she studied at the Folkwang School in Essen, among others with Josef Urbach, followed by a longer study trip to Munich.

From 1938 she took part in annual exhibitions from Solingen and Bergisch artists and produced illustrations for Peter Witte's local poems . In 1946 she became a member of various artists' associations and the BBK, taking part in their annual exhibitions, such as the Bergische Kunstgenossenschaft Wuppertal. In 1947 she became a member of the Solingen Artists' Association, in 1950 a member of the BBK of North Rhine-Westphalia, and in 1955 a member of GEDOK Cologne. Also in the 50s and probably also in the 60s she is a member of the Düsseldorfer Künstlerinnen eV

From 1954 to 1963 she worked at the German Blade Museum in Solingen and in 1966 for a short time at the Solingen metalworking school. She modeled again in clay, painted tiles and converted travel impressions into collages.

Anneliese Everts died on October 19, 1967 in Solingen.

What was unusual for a single woman at the time was her willingness to travel through Europe, which took her mainly to the East and North Sea coasts and above all to the Mediterranean, Italy, southern France, Austria and Switzerland. In drawings and watercolors, she documented the landscapes that became the basic motifs of her oil paintings. She describes one of her watercolor series of these trips to Provence: “Now I am painting stones. Stones and light. The cracked, battered crust of the earth, but the glowing color of it repeatedly struck me. Precious colors ”.

“Like many of her contemporaries, she discovered the stylistic diversity and diversity in the approaches of modern art. The diversity of her subject matter and the artistic techniques she uses is so understandable. She made woodcuts, drawings, watercolors and oil paintings. She illustrated newspapers and books, discovered the possibilities of collages made of torn paper, painted monumental murals and worked three-dimensionally in ceramics. She was interested in portraits, genre-like portraits of children, still lifes, landscapes and cityscapes. Depending on when they were created, they are executed in different degrees of abstraction.
