Georg Einbeck

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Einbeck (born January 5, 1871 in Golluschütz , † January 21, 1951 in Paris or Lucerne ) was a German businessman, painter and photographer.

Live and act

Einbeck first completed an apprenticeship as a banker and then worked as a businessman in Hagen . In 1896 he came to Hamburg, where he worked as a merchant and painter from 1894 to 1897. Under the guidance of the Hofmeister brothers , he got to know photography and from 1897 to 1899 took part in the international exhibition of art photographs in the Hamburger Kunsthalle . From 1897 to 1903 he was a member of the Society for the Promotion of Amateur Photography and from 1906 was an external member of the association. In 1898 he lived temporarily in Paris, where he was presumably taught by Henri Matisse .

In 1899 Georg Einbeck moved to Dresden and from 1903 to 1907 took part in exhibitions at the Berlin Secession , an artist group that had split off from the academic art scene. He was also represented at exhibitions in the Berliner Künstlerhaus, at the Great Art Exhibition in Dresden and at exhibitions of the German Association of Artists in Weimar . He mainly showed Parisian street scenes and figurative studies with titles such as Aus Portofino or Women on the Beach . In 1906 he made trips to North Africa and southern France . During the First World War he lived in Switzerland and in 1919/20 in his birthplace in West Prussia . He then alternated between residences in Menton and Lucerne.

Photographs

Einbeck belonged to the group of amateur photographers who wanted to counter the routine of professional photographers of the time with new development methods, image views and changed image details. He avoided conventional studios with backdrops and instead photographed rural portraits and landscapes in particular. The collector Ernst Juhl , who had devoted himself to pictorialism , acquired a number of his pictures for his collection. The photos can be seen in the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg and in the Berlin Art Library .
