Georg Jauss

Georg Jauss 1898

Georg Jauss (born March 15, 1867 in Hattenhofen , Württemberg ; † March 6, 1922 in Munich ) was a German landscape painter at the turn of the century in Bavaria.

Life

Jauss was born in Hattenhofen in 1867 as the eldest of 6 children of Leopold and Anna Maria Jauss. The father was a bricklayer and farmer. From 1873 to 1880 he attended elementary school in Hattenhofen. The Protestant pastor discovered his talent for drawing and encouraged him so that he received drawing lessons in Göppingen from 1880 . In 1882 he was accepted into the class of antiquities at the Stuttgart Art School, and from 1883 he received a scholarship. His teachers were Jakob Grünenwald and Friedrich von Keller , who had a great influence on him. Classmates were Christian Landenberger and Bernhard Buttersack , with whom he was close friends. Together with another student, he graduated as the best and was allowed to travel to Italy in the summer of 1890. After his military service he went to Munich and Dachau, where he changed from genre painter to landscape painter. Around 1895 he got a job as a teacher in the women's academy of the Münchner Künstlerinnenverein in Munich. From 1895 he was a member of the Munich Secession and also took part in exhibitions in Stuttgart, Berlin and Bremen. At the end of 1899 he resigned his teaching post in the female artists' association and left the Munich Secession.

From 1906 to 1913 he was a member of the Luitpold Group , then again with the Munich Secession. In 1899 he married Caroline Hegeler, his student, and built a studio in Dachau. In 1902 his daughter, who later became painter and book illustrator Anne Marie Jauss, was born. His wife died in 1904 and two years later he sold the Dachau house. In 1910 he entered into a second marriage with Katharina Heimerl, from which a son emerged, the future architect Georg Jauss. From 1913 he had a summer house in Irschenhausen near Icking. In 1919 he was naturalized in Bavaria. Georg Jauss died of a stroke in Munich in 1922 and was buried in the Munich North Cemetery.
