August Lüdecke-Cleve
August Lüdecke-Cleve (born October 25, 1868 in Heinsberg , † August 7, 1957 in Munich ) was a German animal and landscape painter .
Life
After his studies, initially at the Düsseldorf Art Academy from April 1888 to March 1891 a. a. in the preparatory class with Hugo Crola and then at the Munich Art Academy with Franz Roubaud and Heinrich von Zügel , he left the Munich Art Academy as a master class student with a large silver medal. From 1901 he moved into various studios in Munich with regular painting visits to the Lower Rhine, Chiemsee and Salzkammergut. He added Cleve to his signature to avoid confusion with a painter of the same name. He was married to Alwine, nee Maywald, and had two children. In 1943 his studio in Munich was completely destroyed by fire bombs, he moved to Westendorf near Kaufbeuren in the Allgäu , where he painted until his death. He died in Munich in 1957. He was a member of the artist group Laetitia in Düsseldorf, in the Munich artists ' cooperative and in the Munich artist society Allotria .
reception
Lüdecke-Cleve sent landscapes to exhibitions in Düsseldorf and Kleve, later he devoted himself to depictions of predominantly black colored cows, individually or in herds, which he reproduced in bold colors in the pastures and on the banks of the Lower Rhine in different moods of the day. Other focal points were tulip and hyacith fields and their harvest in Holland in splendid colors and the Lower Rhine with barges and cows.
The influence of his teacher Zügel can be seen not only in the subject, but also in the fresh coloring, the lighting effects and the broad brushstrokes. He sent exhibitions to the Glaspalast in Munich from 1908 to 1930.
