Carl Ihrke (born September 18, 1921 in Harburg , † February 28, 1983 in Hamburg ) was a German painter , graphic artist and sculptor .

Life

Carl Ihrke studied set design , architecture and painting at the University of Architecture and Fine Arts in Weimar from 1942 to 1944 . From 1946 to 1950 he worked as a set designer at Hans Fitze's stages in Hamburg-Harburg and then worked as a painter and graphic artist. In the 1950s he stayed in Paris for a while. Ihrke was a member of the Hamburg Artists' Association . In the Hamburg address books for the years 1959 up to and including 1963 Carl Ihrke is listed as a painter at Knoopstrasse 4 in Hamburg-Harburg. Around 1982 he lived at Knoopstrasse 39.

The Harburger Apotheke St. Georg published a calendar with Ihrke motifs every year until Ihrke's death. Carl Ihrke, who always wore a beret in public during his lifetime , was buried in the New Cemetery in Hamburg-Harburg. Ihrke's estate was transferred to the collection of the Altona Museum . Other works by Ihrke can be found in the collections of the Harburg town hall , the Helms Museum in Hamburg-Harburg and the Kaamp-Hüs in Kampen on Sylt . In 1984, the metal sculptor Hendrik-André Schulz created what is popularly known as the fish fountain , based on Ihrke's designs , which was set up in the Lämmertwiete in Hamburg-Harburg. Except for one eel, the fish were lost to vandalism and were replaced by Schulz in 2011.

After the dissolution of the grave Carl Ihrkes the grave stone was after the inscription was added to some data, the grave stone museum at the so-called water route of the new cemetery established in September 2004 again. The unveiling of the stone took place on the occasion of Ihrke's 83rd birthday. For the unveiling ceremony, the former Harburg gardening authority, Volker Maaß, the former district director of the Harburg district Bernhard Hellriegel, the home and museum association chairman Will Baumgarten, the cemetery chief Wolfgang Bartelt as well as old friends and a relative of Ihrkes from Kiel were present.

After Siegfried Bonhagen, the then cultural- political spokesman for the Harburg CDU parliamentary group, submitted an application in this regard at the beginning of 2011, on November 28, 2013, after Carl Ihrke, a 65-meter-long section of Hermann-Maul-Strasse in Hamburg-Harburg became Carl-Ihrke-Weg renamed. Numerous representatives of Harburg politics and administration as well as many family members and companions of Ihrke were present at the unveiling of the street sign.

plant

After initially transparent landscape watercolors as well as plant and costume studies, after his encounter with Cubism in 1945/1946 he created abstract gouaches with a stronger volume and an emphasis on line and surface. Landscapes were created with no detail design and the dissolution of the form into individual geometric areas, including beach, dune, coastal and urban landscapes. Around 1960 he also conducted nude studies . From 1970 he devoted himself more to drawing . His choice of motifs included Uthland Frisian houses in Kampen on Sylt, churches and old houses in Hamburg. Many of his motifs reappear in his graphics. He preferred linocut and lithography . For commissions in the field of art in architecture , he also designed animal sculptures, preferably fish, and windows.
