Life

Due to her father's professional activity, Clarita Beyer spent the first seven years of her life in South and Central America. In 1872 she returned to Germany with her parents and grew up in Altona (Elbe), which was still independent at the time. After taking lessons from the Hamburg landscape and marine painter Friedrich Schwinge as more of a pastime , she began studying at the painting school in Karlsruhe in autumn 1888 . For three years she attended the institute where Benjamin Vautier also taught. From 1891 Clarita Beyer lived in Kiel with her now widowed mother. In 1895 she opened a schoolgirls studio there, but interrupted her employment two years later to take lessons with Charles Palmié in Munich . As a result, she regularly took part in exhibitions in Berlin and Munich. Study trips took her to the Harz, Bavaria and the Spreewald. She painted her most important picture in her own opinion, Am Teich, in 1900, it is in the Kunsthalle Kiel . At the beginning Clarita Beyer looked for her motifs in the vicinity of Kiel, from 1905 she found her natural model mainly on the Halligen.

Clarita Beyer was already attentive to the art scene in Schleswig-Holstein at the end of the 19th century. When the Schleswig-Holstein Art Cooperative was founded in 1893, she was among the founders, and from 1910 a member of the board. In 1906, the North Frisian Art Exhibition took place in Wyk auf Föhr on the occasion of the city's 200th anniversary . On a tip from Hans Peter Feddersen , who found her picture “Excellent” at low tide on Hallig Hooge , Carl Ludwig Jessen arranged for Clarita Beyer to be invited to this exhibition. She presented eight pictures, including seven views of Hooge and the painting Houses in Nebel auf Amrum .

“Do you have to have lived in such rooms to feel all the comfort of this rich but quiet factory? And this style, which in every device has something of old beauty and old quirk, and above all: something of its own folklore and personal work? One lives here for several centuries, but certainly not in "turmoil". Then the old dealer came, scratched, scraped, at best pasted over, and the "bazaar" put in what "looks like something" and is junk. "

- Ferdinand Avenarius 1916 in Der Kunstwart on the picture Stube auf Föhr.
