Hanfried Schulz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hanfried Schulz (* 1922 in Guben ; † 2005 in Berlin ) was a German painter , graphic artist and experimental artist.

Life and artistic creation

After an apprenticeship as a decorative painter in World War II , Schulz was drafted into military service and was taken prisoner of war. From 1949 to 1955 he studied with Arno Mohr at the University of Fine and Applied Arts Berlin-Weißensee . From 1955 he worked as a freelancer in East Berlin . Together with the mail art pioneer Robert Rehfeldt , he took on numerous orders for murals .

In the 1950s and 1960s Schulz formed an experimental group of artists with Robert Rehfeldt, Ingo Kirchner and, from 1965, with his friend, painter Dieter Tucholke . The members of the group took up Dadaism and Constructivism and soon took up elements of Tachism and Pop Art . In this way they found artistic strategies that “could absorb enough reality and yet not shut themselves off from generalizing worldliness”. The group insisted on the obligation to “experiment with all media and materials”. Thus it corresponded neither to the understanding of art of the Berlin school , which dominates Berlin, nor to the concept that the state institutions of the GDR had of art. In a conversation published in 1990, Tucholke said about the ties between the group of artists: "We [...] [...] had no program, but shared artistic attitudes." The art historian Wolfgang Hütt described that the artists made very personal confessions in their work taxes and relentlessly revealed their own fears and needs.

Quote

“ Art is a large garden with countless beautiful flowers and plants. everyone can pick one of them, put together a bouquet or weave a wreath. "

- Hanfried Schulz, in the summer of 2004

In 1995 the plans of the Berlin transport company , according to which the " art boards from GDR times" - a cycle by Robert Rehfeldt, Hanfried Schulz and Siegfried Krepp - were to be nailed up with billboards at the Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz underground station, attracted media attention . The 16 panels with collages on motifs from the Imperial Era and the Weimar Republic showed graffiti and damage from vandalism. In 2003 the boards were removed and stored until their further use was clarified. The area that had become free was swept over.
