Life

After finishing school, Bachmann completed an apprenticeship as a modeller at the State Porcelain Manufactory in Meißen from 1938 to 1942 .

1947–1949 he studied at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts with Eugen Hoffmann , then he moved to the East Berlin Art Academy as a master student of Heinrich Drake . After graduating in 1954, Bachmann lived as a freelance artist in what was then the Hohenschönhausen district . Finally, in 1961, he took up a teaching post at the Weißenseer Kunsthochschule and was soon given a professorship for the subject of plastic-spatial basics , which he taught until 1989.

Bachmann was married and had three children.

He was a personal member of the Museum of Modern Art in Frankfurt am Main .

Works

Bust of Otto Brahm in front of the Deutsches Theater

At first he mainly created statues, but from the 1980s onwards he also painted landscapes, still lifes and portraits. When portraying, he placed particular emphasis on a dialogue with his counterpart, which made the representation particularly lively and yet remained limited to the essentials. - In 2009 a large part of his estate was shown in the art gallery 100 in Berlin-Hohenschönhausen. As early as 1987 and 2004, factory exhibitions were shown at the same location.
