Group 1922

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The group in 1922 was an artist group within the Künstlerbund Schlesien . It was founded in 1922 and existed for at least ten years.

Its members included students and teachers from the Breslau Academy of Arts and Crafts : Isidor Aschheim , Willy Braun, Paul Dobers , Paul Feg (e) ler, Paula Grünfeld, Julius Haberfeld, Karl Hanusch , Ludwig Peter Kowalski, Paquita Kowalski-Tannert (* 1890), Thomas Myrtek , Georg Nerlich , Max Odoy , Konrad Scheu, Hans Zimbal.

The artists “did not set up a rigid program by which to work and be judged. But they consciously combined inner experience with naturalism. Only occasionally does an expressionist gesture intervene. Such will never become ruler. And that is precisely why the people of Wroclaw enjoyed calm recognition and continued existence in the period that followed. Your teachers belonged to the "bridge" or were close to it. Your confidante was Professor Hanusch , who was teaching in Breslau at the time. The sure drawing, the fine way of recognizing and capturing the beautiful in the inconspicuous or in the undulations of the loud and occasionally intrusive, still goes through the works of the group today ”.
