from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gisela Baur-Nütten (* May 12, 1886 as Gisela Maria Pauline Coelestine Nütten in Düsseldorf ; † September 10, 1981 in Kleve ) was a German painter and graphic artist from the Düsseldorf School .

Life

Baur-Nütten grew up as the daughter of the royal Prussian officer Karl (Charles) Eugen Maria Heinrich Nütten (* 1847 in Saarlouis ) and his wife, the writer Anna Nütten , née Startz (* 1861 in Aachen ), daughter of the Commerce Councilor Conrad Alexander Startz, in Düsseldorf and from 1895 in Kleve, where her father, then Colonel a. D., acquired the Villa Elsa , built in 1884 as a summer residence , a stately home at Bergstrasse 16 with a garden designed by Maximilian Friedrich Weyhe . In the 1900s she took brief private lessons from the painter Carl Murdfield . Around 1906 she married Albert Baur the Younger , a history and landscape painter from the Düsseldorf School. On June 3, 1909, daughter Ruth was born in Düsseldorf, who later made a name for herself as a ballet master in Kleve under her married name Countess von Bullion .

In the 1920s she resumed her “innate profession” as a painter and created landscapes, architectural views, sacred paintings (such as Stations of the Cross) and portraits. She also worked as a wood and linoleum cutter and as a dancer . In Kleve, where she settled after the death of her parents and, with the exception of the years 1940 to 1943, when she stayed in Rome and Anticoli , she lived and worked, however, less as an artist, but more as a colorful personality with a resolute demeanor perceived what earned her the nickname "Generalin" there. Walther Brüx , chairman of the Niederrheinischer Künstlerbund , of which she was a member, described her at the opening of a retrospective, which was organized on her ninetieth birthday in the Koekkoek house , with the words: "She is the only man among the Kleve artists."
