Ernst te Peerdt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ernst Carl Friedrich te Peerdt (born November 25, 1852 in Tecklenburg , † February 20, 1932 in Düsseldorf ) was a German painter of the Düsseldorf and Munich schools .

Life

Te Peerdt was born the son of a Protestant district judge in Tecklenburg ( Westphalia ). He spent his youth in Wesel , where he attended high school. From 1868 he attended the Düsseldorf Art Academy , where Eduard Bendemann and Andreas Müller taught him. In 1873 he moved to the Munich Academy . Ferdinand von Piloty and Wilhelm von Diez instructed him there . From 1874 he received lessons from Ludwig Knaus at the Berlin Academy . From 1878 to 1881 he traveled to Italy (Venice, Ravenna, Rome, Capri, southern Italy). From 1881 to 1884 he stayed in Düsseldorf, where he was a member of the Malkasten artists' association . From 1884 to 1892 he lived in Munich . There he married Wilhelmine (Minna) Baumgartner from Burghausen on December 17, 1888 . In 1890 his daughter Johanna was born. In 1893 te Peerdt settled again in Düsseldorf. In 1910 te Peerdt lived in Düsseldorf at Gneisenaustrasse 12, Pempelfort . The son Heinrich was born in 1895. In 1909 te Peerdt joined the Sonderbund and took part in its exhibitions in the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf (1909) and the Kunstpalast Düsseldorf (1910). He was made an honorary member of the Sonderbund in 1911. Its members, who were primarily interested in his open-air studies and landscapes , viewed te Peerdt as their forerunner because of his early Impressionist painting. In 1914, Alfred Flechtheim organized te Peerdt's first solo exhibition in his Düsseldorf gallery. In the same year Flechtheim placed te Peerdt at the Cologne Werkbund exhibition . In September 1917 a solo exhibition at the Cologne Art Association followed . Flechtheim, who propagated te Peerdt as "Düsseldorf Liebermann ", exhibited it again in 1917, 1919, 1924 and 1930. On May 11, 1918, te Peerdt was awarded the title of Professor at the Great Art Exhibition in the Kunstpalast Düsseldorf . In 1919, along with Christian Rohlfs , te Peerdt became an honorary member of the Düsseldorf artist group Das Junge Rheinland at the suggestion of Karl Koetschau . On June 20, 1925, the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn awarded him an honorary doctorate. In the same year, the Düsseldorf painter Arthur Kaufmann portrayed him in his painting Die Zeitgenossen , to characterize te Peerdt as the “ancestor” of modern Rhenish painting. The Düsseldorf Art Academy honored him on November 25, 1927 on his 75th birthday with a morning party and the award of honorary membership. In 1928 te Peerdt took part in the German Art Exhibition in Düsseldorf. In 1932 Walter Cohen honored him with an obituary in the magazine Die Kunst für Alle as a "painter-poet-philosopher" with an "awesome personality despite many peculiarities". In the same year, the exhibition Düsseldorf-Munich Art showed a “memorial exhibition for Ernst te Peerdt” in a separate room of the Kunstpalast Düsseldorf , in which te Peerdt's self-portrait, created in old age, was presented.

Te Peerdt's versatile painting is rooted in 19th century art, especially in the traditions of the Düsseldorf and Munich schools . His pictorial expression was subject to several changes in the course of his life. One of his main works, Gesellschaft im Park (1873), shows the Sohn-Rethel family in the park of the Malkasten House . This early work surprises with its closeness to French impressionism , with which he came into contact with the Hungarian painter Pál Szinyei Merse while studying in Munich . The genre painting Der Kupferdrucker , carefully composed in the Düsseldorf tradition , which shows a banknote counterfeiter at work, is reminiscent of Johann Peter Hasenclever's studio scene in its confessional directness .
