Hubert Neidhart

G. Hubert Neidhart (* 1928 in Schweinfurt ; † 1999 ibid.) Was a German painter and critical-realistic draftsman or graphic artist .

Life

After the Second World War, Neidhart studied in Kassel from 1948 at the Werkakademie. From 1950 to 1953 he studied at the academies in Stuttgart and Munich. From 1961 the painter worked as an art teacher at the Alexander von Humboldt Gymnasium in Schweinfurt. Already a member of the artist group Kontakt in 1962, in 1974 he was one of the founders of the “Schweinfurt Artists Group”, whose mentor and driving force he remained until his death in 1999.

His work reflected the artistic development since the 1950s and was at the same time a mirror of the time in general. He has always been committed to representational painting and yet has known how to integrate the knowledge of non-representational art movements. He was an artist who worked in his time and out of his time and for whom l'art pour l'art was not enough. Neidhart was also happy to present his criticism of the time in drawings and prints. Based on monotypes and screen prints, etching has become the artist's preferred means of expression in recent years.
