Eugene Nell
Eugen Nell (born August 15, 1905 in Ebingen ; † 1994 ) was a German painter .
Eugen Nell was considered a great expressionist of landscape painting .
Life
The painter, who was born in Albstadt , was led on the path of Expressionism under the influence of the Munich Secession . Initially praised for his masterfully executed woodcuts, from 1934 under the Academy Director Karl Caspar he found a mature form of expression that is characterized by its own expressive color form. The war years weighed heavily on him, during which he had to experience the impeachment of his highly esteemed, but degenerate ostracized teacher. Only after the war was he able to make a fresh start in Wiesbaden, where he assumed a leading position within the newly founded Association of Visual Artists. The second marriage provided the decisive impetus for Nell's resurgence of creativity, in whose prime his most colorful and expressive works emerged. He then spent his last years in his hometown Albstadt, where he died in 1994.
Works
His profession was the landscape, which he studied mainly in the Swabian Alb and during his trips to Scandinavia. Influenced by his wife, he painted more and more city scenes, such as the views of Bremen, or images of society, such as his famous carnival trilogy. His hall decorations and designs of floats were very much appreciated.
