The Elbier were a Dresden artist group around Gotthardt Kuehl , who had been the director of the genre painting studio at the Art Academy since 1895 and a pioneer of impressionism in Dresden . The group was formed in 1902 as the successor to the Dresden Artistic Association (Sezession), which was dissolved at the end of 1900 .

history

The artist group Die Elbier was founded in 1902 by Gotthardt Kuehl and several of his former students at the art academy. Members of the artist group were Otto Altenkirch , Arthur Bendrat , Fritz Beckert , Walter Besig , Ferdinand Dorsch , Georg Erler , Walter Friederici , Josef Goller , Emanuel Hegenbarth , Edmund Körner , William Krause , Gotthardt Kuehl , Gustav Meyer-Buchwald , Georg Müller-Breslau , Hans Nadler , Anton Josef Pepino , Felix Pfeifer , Otto Pilz , Walter Sintenis , Johannes Paul Ufer and August Wilckens .

The Dresden art cooperative prevented the Elbe people from taking part in the Saxon art exhibition in 1903. As a result, Gotthardt Kuehl, Ferdinand Dorsch, Emanuel Hegenbarth, Gustav Meyer-Buchwald, Hans Nadler, Anton Pepino and Felix Pfeiffer left the art cooperative and joined the German Association of Artists on.

The landmark of the Elbe , a ship on moving waves, came from Josef Goller . The artist group was formed during the turbulent times of the emerging Expressionism , which reached a high point in 1905 with the formation of the artist group Die Brücke in Dresden. The Elbe people did not stand for experimental painting: they showed native motifs from nature and people in everyday life.

On July 3, 1909, the Elbians joined forces with the artist group Die Zunft, founded in 1905 around Hans Erlwein , Otto Gussmann , Fritz Schumacher and Georg Wrba . The guild disbanded in 1918.
