Life
Westendorp, a cousin of the painters Arthur and Eugen Kampf , studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy from 1885/86 to 1894 . There he was a student of Hugo Crola , Heinrich Lauenstein and above all of Eugen Dücker , to whose best students he is counted. Westendorp worked as a freelance painter in Düsseldorf . He toured Belgium, Holland, France and Egypt. Under the influence of Camille Pissarro and the Belgian painting of his time, he turned to Impressionist painting.
Together with Max Clarenbach , who was involved in the Düsseldorf Exhibition Association, he ran an art salon in the Tiez department store at the beginning of the 20th century , where they sold Expressionists and Impressionists. In 1904 he was a delegate of the international art exhibition in the Kunstpalast Düsseldorf . He was friends with the painter August Neven Du Mont , for whom he organized an estate exhibition in his London studio. In 1919 Westendorp was one of the founders of the secessionist artists' association Das Junge Rheinland , of which he was a member. Westendorp temporarily lived in the Herresberg house in Remagen with his wife and daughter Mariele (1899–1960) .
The sculptor Hermann Haller made a bust of him in terracotta and wood in 1917. He also made a bronze bust of him. At the end of 1926, the Alfred Flechtheim gallery organized an exhibition of the Westendorp estate.
