Life

Hannelore Busse was born in 1926 as the daughter of the artist Hermann Busse (1883–1970) in Jagstfeld and, together with her father and the Jagstfelder Kreis , painted at a young age , especially in nature. Since her father also had a studio in Berlin , she also stayed there frequently as a child. In 1946 she began studying at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart under Professors Fritz Steisslinger , Manfred Henninger and Willi Baumeister . From May 1951 she spent three months studying in Paris with Ruth Eitle and Irmgard Pfisterer . In 1953 she graduated from Manfred Henninger's master class.

After completing her studies, she married the painter Klaus Bendixen (1924–2003) in 1956 . The couple settled in Stuttgart, where both worked as freelance artists. After Klaus Bendixen became a professor at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts in 1960 , the family moved to Hamburg in 1961 . The marriage resulted in two daughters, of whom Katarina Bendixen, born in 1959, also became an artist. In 1980 Hal Busse returned to his father's last place of residence in Heilbronn .

Hal Busse's artistic development has always been subordinate to her circumstances. Her early work is primarily shaped by the style of her father Hermann Busse, who worked as a post-impressionist landscape painter . During her studies in Paris in 1951, she was influenced by the works of Fernand Léger and the École de Paris , whereupon her work became increasingly abstract in the course of the 1950s. In 1956 she joined the German Association of Artists . With her husband, the master builder student Klaus Bendixen, she moved into a spacious apartment with studio space in Stuttgart, where the couple exchanged ideas with Anton Stankowski , Max Bense and Helmut Heißenbüttel . Hal Busse had close contacts with the artist group ZERO , whose member Günther Uecker is considered the inventor of nail pictures. Avant-garde nail pictures were also created in Busses studio from 1958 to 1962, as well as structural pictures with abstract colored surfaces based on the works of Mark Rothko . At that time in the late 1950s she took the stage name Hal . The main wall of the foyer in Heilbronner Harmonie was provided with a colored glass grid wall by Hal Busse in 1958. After moving to Hamburg in 1961 and mother of two daughters from 1962, Hal Busse turned increasingly to building art , drawing and printmaking as well as kinetic art . Together with her husband, she also exhibited in the New Group department at the large art exhibition in Munich's Haus der Kunst . in 1968 she had a scholarship at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris. The student unrest at the time inspired her to create political images, the design and colors of which are based on contemporary Pop Art . In the late 1970s, he also made works from woven paper with watercolors. When she returned to Heilbronn in 1980, where she lived in her parents' house, a return to her early days began, so that since then, in addition to abstract works, picturesque landscapes have been created again.

Her favorite motifs include beach and bathing scenes, which she created in different styles during all phases of her artistic development. With bathing scenes in the abstract and reduced formal language of the early 1950s, she won 2nd prize at the Art Prize of the Young in 1954 and took part in the 1957 Paris Biennale. Her completely abstract, large-format panel painting Strand from 1967, which was created using sand from Sperlonga , is one of her main works. During the 1970s, screen prints with beach motifs were created from a bird's eye view. Beach motifs can also be found in her late work since she returned to Heilbronn in 1980. Bendixen-Busse created the sculpture Springer for the outdoor pool in Kirchhausen in 1982 , a four-meter-high stylized human figure on an eleven-meter-high mast that appears to jump through three blue panes .

The municipal museums in Heilbronn own numerous works by the artist. The picture titled Paris (1952) shows a traffic island in Paris with stairs leading down from the island to a metro station. Individual colored points or spots convey movement. The painting Die Obsternte (1953) shows abstract harvest workers on Lake Constance in red and brown-green tones. The green couple (1953/54) shows a couple resting between trees, just as highly abstract. The striped painting (the way to the family) (around 1955) is an ink work on canvas and shows abstract human bodies. The structure images gold-yellow and yellow-orange (around 1960) are purely abstract color compositions. The art historian Jörg Scheller wrote about Busse that the lack of a clear trademark in her work "refers to the possibility of another artist image: curiosity instead of market power, sensitivity instead of rigorism, search instead of statement, multidimensionality instead of machotism." Assertiveness is not my thing she once said. An attitude that is only recognizable as such at second glance - and that is why it is so valuable. "

Several of her nail reliefs were bought by the Stuttgart regional council . Other works by Hal Buss are owned by the Pfalzgalerie Kaiserslautern , the Städtische Galerie Karlsruhe , the Kunsthalle Recklinghausen , the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart and the Städtisches Museum Schloss Morsbroich in Leverkusen .
