Fritz Beckert (painter)
Fritz Beckert (born April 8, 1877 in Leipzig , † September 27, 1962 in Dresden ) was a German architectural painter and professor at the Technical University of Dresden .
He studied from 1894 to 1896 at the Leipzig Art Academy and until 1900 at the Dresden Art Academy as a student of Friedrich Preller the Elder. J. and Gotthardt Kuehl . Study trips took him to various German regions and to Austria and Italy, especially Thuringia and Franconia . He wanted to found an artists' colony in Kirchberg an der Jagst . He became a co-founder of the artist group Die Elbier , which was absorbed in the Impressionist Dresden Secession in 1909 , so he is attributed to the Dresden colorism . From 1908 he taught as a private lecturer in architectural painting at the Technical University of Dresden, became a regular professor in 1921 and a full professor in 1925 until 1945. He was under the influence of Cornelius Gurlitt , for whom the exact architectural depiction was important before creating a mood. In 1945 Beckert lost his studio and most of his work in the bombing of Dresden .
Beckert advocated National Socialism as early as 1932 , and in November 1933 he signed the German professors' confession of Adolf Hitler .
