Carl Lauterbach

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Lauterbach (born November 21, 1906 in Burscheid ; † June 27, 1991 in Düsseldorf ) was a German painter and art collector .

Life

He was a member of the groups Das Junge Rheinland and the Association of Revolutionary Visual Artists . In the fight against so-called “ degenerate art ”, the National Socialists confiscated 12 socially critical works from him in the Düsseldorf Art Museum ; some were publicly burned on April 11, 1933 in the course of a book burning , a month before the nationwide campaign of the same name.

According to a text by the Düsseldorf City Museum from February 2012, Lauterbach was not a resistance. There it says: “ Contrary to his later self-portrayal as an opposition and resistance artist, Lauterbach, according to his own statement, participated in around 40 exhibitions in Germany and the areas occupied by Germany, including the art exhibition for German soldiers organized by the Wehrmacht in Paris ..... Lauterbach was neither banned from working, nor were his pictures 'degenerate'. Since 1934 he was a member of the Reich Chamber of Fine Arts “According to the Westdeutscher Zeitung, these new findings come from the art historian Werner Alberg; the discussion about Lauterbach continues (status 4/2012).

Honors

In 1972 he was awarded the Cross of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. A street in Burscheid has been named after Carl Lauterbach since 1992. On the occasion of his hundredth birthday in November 2006, the city organized an exhibition of his works.
