Life

Armin Schulze spent his childhood in well-off circumstances. After graduating from high school in 1925, he acquired his technical training in drawing until 1927 at the Academy of Applied Arts and then until 1929 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden. Among his teachers were Otto Hettner , Ferdinand Dorsch , Max Feldbauer and Richard Müller . There he also met Willy Wolff , Curt Querner and Ernst Hassebrauk . With the latter, he had a lifelong friendship.

Armin Schulze acquired his scientific training from 1925 to 1929 at the Technical University in Dresden and he finished his studies in 1930 with the qualification to teach the higher education authority. He then worked as a freelance artist. In 1932 Schulze got a job at the Sächsische Landesbildstelle, today's Deutsche Fotothek , and in 1934 he moved into Josef Hegenbarth's studio in the Künstlerhaus Dresden-Loschwitz . Because of his commitment to artists who were considered degenerate at the time (including Paul Klee , Otto Dix and Lyonel Feininger ), he was dismissed from the Saxon State Picture Center in 1935.

He moved into Hans von Marées' studio in Dresden and soon found a job as a drawing teacher at the secondary school in Bischofswerda and Frankenberg / Sa. In 1939 Armin Schulze was drafted into military service and among other things was employed as an interpreter. He met Isolde Kirchhübel from Ebersbach and married her in 1941. The first daughter, Erdmute, was born in 1944. In 1945 he returned from the Eastern Front, disabled and with permanent disabilities. Most of his works were destroyed by the bombing raid on Dresden .

He retired to Ebersbach. Soon he resumed his work as a freelance artist. In 1950 the second daughter Teda was born. In the same year he was one of the founding members of the " Association of Visual Artists of the GDR ". From 1962 to 1971 he worked as a commissioned artist at VEB Oberlausitzer cotton weaving mill in Neusalza-Spremberg through a work contract.

His artistic work is assigned to the epoch of expressive realism . Historians also refer to this era as the Lost Generation .
