life and work

Georg Schaible was the only child of his parents, who ran an iron and grocery store in Klosterreichenbach . After completing a commercial apprenticeship and further business school in Calw , he studied from 1927 at the Art Academy in Stuttgart with Professors Arnold Waldschmidt and Anton Kolig . As a master student of Kolig, he also worked in 1930 on his commission to paint the small state parliament hall in the Klagenfurt country house with frescoes . After graduating in 1932, sponsors made it possible for him to go on a longer study trip through Italy and Sicily. After his return in 1933, the SS searched his apartment and studio in his parents' house. Meanwhile, two SA men with attached bayonets kept watch in front of the front door. After a last exhibition in 1934 at the Kunstverein Karlsruhe, the galleries rejected his pictures as “no longer justifiable”. In 1940 he was called up for military service and returned home from prisoner-of-war with a serious lung condition. After several stays in a sanatorium, he was represented for the first time again in 1946 at the Freudenstadt art exhibition with watercolors.

One saw his pictures often in the Württembergischer Kunstverein, he also exhibited at the jury-free artists' association of the Stuttgarter Kunstverein. Many of his works have been shown in Heilbronn, Karlsruhe, Krefeld, Oehringen and Ulm. In 1957 the first comprehensive overview of works was exhibited in the Freudenstadt town hall. This year the artist group Das Quadrat was founded by the sculptor David Fahrner and the painters Otto Rühle, Georg Schaible and Dr. Kurt Schöpp instead. In his article “Das Quadrat” - and the art in the southwest in the book by Otto Rühle, Verlag Schanbacher Art-International, Professor Günther Wirth reported extensively on the oldest artist community in the state of Baden-Württemberg.

From 1958 to 1975 Georg Schaible was an art teacher at various high schools. An abstract sculpture made of cast iron in the schoolyard of the Luise Büchner School in Freudenstadt also dates from this time. A large exhibition in April 1997 in the premises of the Kreissparkasse Freudenstadt showed the work of the 90-year-old with a comprehensive retrospective.

His drawings, watercolors, oil and acrylic paintings can be assigned to expressive realism. From the sixties onwards, ballpoint pen drawings were created that are very expressive. Georg Schaible showed himself to be open to everything new, but his artistic will and work was always incorruptible and undisputed and never aimed at achieving effects.
