from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Emil Bizer (born August 5, 1881 in Pforzheim ; † March 9, 1957 in Badenweiler ) was a German painter .

Life

Bizer first completed a commercial apprenticeship and then spent a long time in Paris and London , where he already began to paint. In 1904 he first settled in Baden-Baden . There and in Karlsruhe he received an artistic training. Since 1911 he exhibited regularly. In 1912 he moved to Badenweiler in the Markgräflerland , where he found his artistic home and lived until his death.

In 1946 the Secession, which had been banned ten years earlier, was re-established and Bizer became its chairman. In 1949 he was appointed professor at the Freiburg State Art Academy.

Bizer is considered the Markgräfler painter. First he created etchings , lithographs and, above all, impressive and expressive woodcuts . From the end of the 1920s he then increasingly turned to painting. He became a member of the Baden Secession . His formal language brought him in contrast to the National Socialist concept of art, which in 1937 led to the confiscation of over 100 works, mainly woodcuts, that were designated as degenerate .

Bizer's topic was mainly the Markgräfler landscape and its people who worked in agriculture. With clear, reduced forms and strong colors, he had an unmistakable style. In Badenweiler he was friends with the writers Annette Kolb and René Schickele , who also lived there.

The artistic estate is cared for in the Markgräfler Museum Müllheim in the Blankenhorn-Palais in Müllheim , further work bundles are in the Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe , in the Museum für Neue Kunst Freiburg , in the gallery of the city of Pforzheim and in the Dreiländermuseum Lörrach, individual works also in the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art New York , in the Städel Museum Frankfurt am Main and in the Kunsthallen Mannheim and Baden-Baden .
