Life

Anton Wilhelm (also Paul Anton or Anton Paul ) Kaulbach was born as the son of the artist Friedrich Kaulbach and his third wife Marie, b. Wellhausen , born. The writer Isidore Kaulbach and the painter Antonie Kaulbach were his sisters, the painters Friedrich August and Sigmund Kaulbach (1854-1894) his half-brothers.

He became deaf in childhood and therefore attended the Hildesheim deaf-mute institution founded by Georg August Kuckuck in 1829 (today LBZH Hildesheim ). He stayed there for nine years and was placed with foster parents in Hildesheim during this time.

He gained his first artistic experience with his father. In 1882 his half-brother Friedrich August Kaulbach brought him to Munich , where he studied painting with him and others at the Munich Art Academy . In 1883 he joined the deaf-and-dumb club “Monachia Gruß” in Munich, where he was 2nd auditor until 1889. In 1884 he portrayed the painter Georg Müller vom Siel . Today the painting is part of the collection of the State Museum for Art and Cultural History Oldenburg . In 1888 Kaulbach was represented at the Munich anniversary exhibition in the Royal Glass Palace with the work Two Chess Players . In 1890 he painted Samuel Heinicke . The painting hangs today on the left wall of the nave of the St. Johannis Church in Hamburg-Eppendorf . In the magazine Die Gartenlaube at the end of 1892 in issue 28 the multi-colored print of a study head of his with the title Ilse appeared as an art supplement . Anton Kaulbach mainly created portraits, but he also devoted himself to genre painting .

From 1895 to 1898 he lived in the Hamburg district of St. Georg at Steindamm 12-14, in 1899 and 1900 in the Hamburg-Eilbek district at Wandsbeker Chaussee 211. From 1901, Kaulbach lived in Berlin; until 1929 with residence at Kaiserplatz 13 (since 1950 Bundesplatz ). In 1903 he painted his father Friedrich Kaulbach in his 81st year. In 1906 Kaulbach took part in the Christmas exhibition at the Kunstverein in Hamburg . In 1907 he exhibited a portrait and a painting showing a girl with poppies at an exhibition in Witten organized by the Association for Local and Local History in Grafschaft Mark . In 1908 he portrayed the also deaf painter Heinrich Fick . The painting hangs today in the Documentation and Education Center for the Bavarian History of the Deaf at the Bavarian Association of the Deaf eV in Munich. In Schreiber's house or in Kaulbach House in Bad Arolsen works can also be found by Anton Kaulbach.

On August 20, 1898, he married Eva Bohl in Schöneberg (* May 1, 1878 in Grabow ; † January 2, 1953 in Hamburg), the couple had two children, Franz Kaulbach (* 1899 in Hamburg; † 1967 in Kiel) and Gisela Thoelke-Kaulbach, who later confirmed the authenticity of Kaulbach's works of art. In 1931 and 1932, the authenticity of Kaulbach's paintings was also apparently certified by a Berlin notary with a so-called authenticity certificate stuck to the back of the canvas .
