Hanna Pauli (born Hanna Hirsch on January 13, 1864 in Stockholm ; died on December 29, 1940 in Saltsjö-Storängen ) was a Swedish painter.

Life

Hanna Pauli came from the Jewish middle class in Stockholm and grew up in Gamla stan , Stora Nygatan 12. She was the youngest child of the music publisher Abraham Hirsch and his wife Pauline, nee Meyerson. She has studied at August Malmström's painting school for women since she was twelve . From 1881 to 1884 at the Stockholm Art Academy . In 1885 she probably won a Hertliga medalj for Familjegrup vid lampan and moved to Paris that autumn to study at the Académie Colarossi until 1887 . In addition to her, other Swedish painters went to Paris for training, such as Eva Bonnier , Jenny Nyström and Venny Soldan-Brofeldt . Bonnier had known her since childhood, and she made friends with Soldan-Brofeldt in Paris. During her stay in France, she met and fell in love with Georg Pauli in the Scandinavian artists' colony in Grez-sur-Loing . Hanna's father, however, had something against the relationship until Pauli assured him that he would keep Jewish traditions. The two married on October 27, 1887 in Sweden. Their honeymoon led to Italy. When they returned, they moved into an apartment on Glasbruksgatan and Fjällgatan.

The couple had three children: Torsten, born in 1889, Georg (1891) and Ruth (1896). In 1893 the family moved to Gothenburg , where Georg Pauli took over the management of Valands konstskola as successor and at the suggestion of Carl Larsson . Since 1897 the Paulis have lived at Bellmansgatan 6, the Laurinska huset in Stockholm, built in 1892 , where their friend Ellen Key also held her political circles. In 1905 they bought a fishing hut on Utö , which the architect Ragnar Östberg converted into a summer house called Ruthstorp with his own studio . They also built Villa Pauli in Storängen in 1905 at the address Värmdövägen 205, Nacka. Not to be confused with the stately Villa Pauli of your brother-in-law, the ophthalmologist Albert Pauli, in Djursholm .

On the New Year of 1907, Hanna traveled to Sicily for relaxation and inspiration, where Ellen Key was staying. On the spot, she fell in love with a local. Her friend Venny, who arrived in March, succeeded in persuading her to travel home, which the two women set out in June. After Georg was very fond of Cubism at the Paris Autumn Salon in 1911 , he encouraged his wife to study painting again in Paris. In 1913 Hanna traveled to the French capital with her fellow student Venny Soldan-Brofeldt for this purpose. They stayed one winter, then Hanna traveled south with Georg. The First World War , which began shortly thereafter, prevented such trips for the next four years. From 1920 to 1921 the couple made an extensive tour of Europe and North Africa.

When the Pauli couple celebrated Hanna's 60th birthday in Rome, she completed her self-portrait in the mirror , which the Turku Art Museum acquired.

In 1933, Prince Eugene and the Paulis held a joint exhibition at the Stockholm Art Academy . In his museum in Waldemarsudde there are works by the Paulis.

After Georg Pauli's death in 1935, part of her art collection came to the Jönköping Läns Museum .

In 1940 her son Georg and his wife Lisa were killed in a car accident. Hanna took care of her children. In her final years, Pauli mainly painted portraits.

Her art reflects both her interest in French realism and impressionism . The latter can be found, for example, in her oil painting Frukostdags painted in 1887 shortly before the marriage . The picture, in which she emphasizes light reflections, was only moderately received by the critics. The colorful spots on the tablecloth, which was not pure white, were particularly irritating.

An example of her realism is the portrait of Venny Soldan-Brofeldt , made shortly after her arrival in France , which was shown by Hirsch with straw slippers against the cold, sitting on the studio floor.

Pauli mainly painted portraits, one of which shows the writer Verner von Heidenstam as Hans Alienus , a character he created in a novel. Her pictures can be found in the Swedish National Museum and Bonnierska portrait collection in Stockholm.

During her lifetime she had few solo exhibitions, but was able to represent Sweden's art at the world exhibitions in Paris in 1889 and Chicago in 1893 . In Stockholm the Hanna Paulis Gata is named after her.
