Karl Wilhelm Arthur Illies (born February 9, 1870 in Hamburg , † May 27, 1952 in Lüneburg ) was a German artist. He was a painter and was considered a brilliant graphic artist around 1900 .

life and work

Arthur Illies was born as the son of the Hamburg merchant Theodor Friedrich Wilhelm Illies and his wife Albertine, b. Black, born in Hamburg. He visited the Johanneum , where Friedrich Schaper was one of his classmates. At the age of 16 he began an apprenticeship as a decorative painter at Wirth & Bay, where Paul Kayser was an apprentice at the time. In the evenings he took nude drawing courses with Paul Düyffcke at the trade school and on Sundays courses in animal drawing in the zoo with Heinrich Ehrich , who was his former art teacher at the Johanneum. From 1889, after the journeyman's examination, he first studied in Munich at the Royal School of Applied Arts with Ludwig Lesker, but then matriculated on October 20, 1890 at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts , where he studied with Johann Caspar Herterich . In 1892 he broke off his studies. In his autobiography in May 1940 he wrote:

“At Easter 1892 I was standing in front of a Lower Saxony farm in Langenhorn during a stay in Hamburg , and it fell like scales from my eyes that I saw something that was closer to me inside than anything that the Academy and Munich might give me could."

The director of the Hamburger Kunsthalle Alfred Lichtwark supported him in the decision to leave Munich and to establish himself in Hamburg. In the autumn of 1893 he moved into a room in Randel's inn in Poppenbüttel for a few days to paint outdoors. In 1894 Illies joined the Hamburg artists' association and stayed with Ernst Eitner in Michaelsen's Gasthaus Zur Alsterschleuse in Wellingsbüttel that summer for the purpose of joint outdoor painting studies in the Alstertal . On Lichtwark's recommendation, the painters Paul Schroeter and Thomas Herbst joined them. After a few weeks, the painters relocated their field of study to Fuhlsbüttel and moved into rooms in the restaurant Zum alten Posthaus by Wilhelm Hinze at Rathsmühlendamm 21 (demolished in 1938). Illies created 60 paintings in the Wellingsbüttel and Fuhlsbüttel periods in 1894. The Kunstverein in Hamburg earned in the year for an exhibition lottery two landscape oil sketches Illies. In the same year he and his father moved from Wandsbeker Chaussee 257 to Peterskampweg 16, but he had the studio at Friedenstraße 27, also in Hamburg-Eilbek .

In 1895 he began teaching at the art school for women of Valesca Rover , which lasted until the 1908th In the summer of 1896, Paul Kayser , Alfred Mohrbutter and Arthur Illies stayed in the Falkenberghof restaurant at the foot of the Falkenberg in the Neugrabener Heide to paint in the heather. When Kayser and Mohrbutter left after a while, Illies continued to paint there alone until it got too cold in the unheated room in the evening. In the heather he created nine multi-colored zinc etchings , a lithograph and 51 paintings, of which Lichtwark acquired two for the Hamburger Kunsthalle after Illie's return in 1896. In the same year Illies also created the etching Ährenfeld for the magazine Pan , which published original graphics . In 1897 he was one of the founders of the Hamburg Artists' Club, most of which he designed for posters and graphic portfolio covers. Also in 1897 he got engaged to his painting student Minna Schwerdtfeger (1877–1901), who then traveled to Paris for half a year and studied at the Académie Colarossi . At the beginning of 1899 Illies began to have his house built according to his own designs on Huuskoppel Street in Lemsahl-Mellingstedt . It was ready for occupancy on July 27th, and he was given the keys.

On August 12, 1900 Illies married Minna Schwerdtfeger. On June 20, 1901, she gave birth to their daughter Helga, shortly afterwards she died; she was buried in Hamburg in the Ohlsdorf cemetery near chapel 3. For a few months the grieving Illies moved with his daughter to his mother and brother Konrad in Klein Borstel in the country house Illies in the street Grüner Winkel 9. During that time he did not paint. Reluctantly, he returned to painting and moved into the studio of his house in Lemsahl-Mellingstedt.

In 1905 he married his painting student Georgie Rabeler (1880–1960). From this marriage came the children Kurt, Herta, Harald, Anke and Jens Harald, who died in 1907 a few months after his birth. In the summer of 1907, Illies and Ernst Eitner accepted Georg Burmester's invitation to stay in Heikendorf on the Kiel Fjord for several months . Painting moving water was new to him. It took him some time to get involved with the motif of the moving sea surface and to find the means to express the movement. He rented an empty beach hall with a wide glass wall facing the water and created around 30 oil paintings over the course of the summer, which also impressed in Hamburg. Also in 1907, Illies created large-format wall paintings based on the Art Nouveau style for the villa (demolished in 1970) for the entrepreneur and art collector Henry B. Simms in Hamburg-Harvestehude , who acquired 14 Alstertal pictures from Illies for his collection at the start of his collecting activity. Three lintels of the 14 murals are now in the Museum of Arts and Crafts in Hamburg , while three other murals property of Georgie and Arthur Illies Family Foundation Lüneburg are.

From October 1, 1908, Illies was a lecturer at the Staatliche Kunstgewerbeschule in Hamburg for the newly established course in nude and head drawing . For the Alster Club , of which he was one of the founding members when he lived in Lemsahl-Mellingstedt from 1898 to 1910, he designed the logo and posters, as well as trail markers for the newly created Alster hiking trail. Illies also designed diplomas and the logo of the Society for the Promotion of Amateur Photography in Hamburg, of which Ernst Juhl was one of the founding members . Because of the poor transport connections to Hamburg, Illies and his family moved to Horner Landstrasse 31 in Hamburg-Horn in the spring of 1910 . Around 1912 he became friends with the Kiel doctor, art collector and painter Paul Wassily , who owned ten of his works.

Illie's early painting is characterized by attempts at style and different subjects . There are impressionist and more lifelike paintings in his early work . After 1900, stylized, decorative and, around 1912, pointillist pictures were also created in fairy colors . His subjects were varied. Landscapes, animal studies and street scenes in Hamburg, pictures of the sea, mermaids and fairy tales as well as nude studies and a large number of portraits were created. Although he was active in various fields of painting, his landscape paintings in the forms of Art Nouveau are particularly outstanding. He has also made a name for himself in the field of printmaking with original representations and innovative printing techniques. At that time he was considered an avangardist in the field of independent artist graphics. Still Horst Janssen felt admiration for the significant graphic artist. In addition to paintings and graphics, he also created designs for furniture and wall decorations.

In 1914 Illies got a studio in the arts and crafts school and took part with etchings in the Cologne Werkbund exhibition , which had to be stopped early because of the onset of the First World War . His rented house in Lemsahl-Mellingstedt (demolished in 1981) was sold during the First World War. Illies was released from military service, but in 1916 drove to the front in Jabłoń and Pinsk on behalf of Otto Lauffer , director of the Museum of Hamburg History , to work with the 2nd Hanseatic Regiment "Hamburg" No. 76 in the field for three months that were exhibited in the auditorium of the School of Applied Arts in Hamburg in 1918. After returning from the front, he also turned to religious painting. At the same time, series of historical cities in northern Germany were created. In 1917 he moved to Uhlenhorster Weg 33 in Hamburg-Uhlenhorst . From 1919 Illies headed the panel painting and graphics class at the Kunstgewerbeschule and took part in the decorative design of the ballrooms at the Hamburg artist festivals . In 1920 he was head of the jury for the first Kiel Autumn Week for Art and Science . From 1920 to April 1924 he was first chairman of the Hamburg Art Association . On June 17, 1924 Illies became a member of the Hamburger Johannisloge Zum Pelikan . In 1926 he was appointed professor by the Hamburg Senate. From 1926 onwards, his prints were also published by the Griffelkunst-Vereinigung Langenhorn (since 2002 Griffelkunst-Vereinigung Hamburg ). His graphics were selected eight times there (choice 9, 16, 27, 32, 37, 40, 58, 60). From 1969 onwards, some single-color reprints were also published there. In 1928 Illies painted the old Erlöserkirche in Hamburg-Borgfelde , which was destroyed in 1943. In 1930 he created an altar painting for the Phillipus Church in Hamburg-Eimsbüttel .

Illies was a member of the Kampfbund für deutsche Kultur , which was dissolved in 1934. In May 1933 he joined the NSDAP , but was not one of the artists particularly sponsored by the NS state. In 1933 he was dismissed early as a professor and replaced by Paul Bollmann . Disappointed, he moved with his family to Ochtmissen near Lüneburg in 1934 . In 1935, as part of a competition, he created designs for the Hall of Fame in Lübeck's Holstentor with marching Nazi columns, which were rejected. In 1937 he moved to Lüneburg and restored or painted over the paintings on the wooden beam ceiling in the Brömsehaus . Together with Hugo Friedrich Hartmann , Frido Witte , Otto Modersohn and Fritz Mackensen , he was awarded the Low German Painter's Prize in Worpswede in 1939 . In 1943 63 of his paintings were destroyed in the bombing war.

In 1945 he lost his apartment and moved into the old department store . After he got visual disturbances in the same year, he dealt almost exclusively with still lifes . In 1951, during a large exhibition of his paintings in the Hamburg Museum of Ethnology, he was made an honorary member of the Hamburg Art Association. Arthur Illies died on May 27, 1952 in his studio apartment in the old department store . He was buried in Hamburg at the Ohlsdorf cemetery.

His students at the painting school for women included Alma del Banco , Gerda Koppel and Gretchen Wohlwill . His students at the Kunstgewerbeschule were among others Felicitas Biehl born.

The Illiesweg in Hamburg-Steilshoop and 1956 the Illiesbrücke over the Alster in Hamburg-Ohlsdorf were named after Arthur Illies . The Arthur-Illies-Weg was named after him in Lüneburg . On December 22, 1959, part of his works in the old department store in Lüneburg was destroyed by arson. The workshop of the goldsmith Herbert Zeitner , the East Prussian Hunting Museum and a satellite warehouse of the Museum for the Principality of Lüneburg were also located in the building and were destroyed. The serial arsonist Herbert Rademacher († 1996) was sentenced to 15 years imprisonment by the Lüneburg Regional Court after just a few days of trial on July 4, 1960 for this and other arson attacks . In March 2018, another 75 × 90 cm oil painting from 1907 entitled Playing Children was destroyed by fire.

Foundation, endowment

The Georgie and Arthur Illies Family Foundation Lüneburg was founded in 1998 by Arthur and Georgie Illie's youngest daughter, Anke Maria Müller-Illies, and is based in Lüneburg. Other family members sit on the Foundation Council and the Foundation Board. With the approval of the district government of Lüneburg on November 24, 1998, it is a legal foundation under civil law . It is non-profit and authorized to issue donation receipts in accordance with the decision of the Lüneburg tax office.

In 1999, the foundation received the estate of Arthur and Georgie Illie's heirs, including many artistic works, diaries, essays, speeches, photos and everyday objects. It records and preserves the estate, has works restored , organizes exhibitions and gives loans for exhibitions. Some of the works have already been shown at many exhibitions. A small part of the pictures are sponsored, because the foundation also offers sponsorships. A sponsor can have a painting of his choice in need of restoration professionally restored by VDR restorer Geertje Foth. By assuming the cost of restoring the selected painting, he supports the preservation of Arthur Illies' work. After the restoration, a sponsor receives the selected painting on loan for a period of ten or more years.
