Hanno Edelmann (born November 18, 1923 in Hamburg ; † July 13, 2013 ) was a German painter , graphic artist and sculptor .
Life
As a 10-year-old Hanno Edelmann took evening courses in drawing at the University of Fine Arts in Hamburg . In 1936 he began an architecture apprenticeship, but mainly portrayed the employees on their drawing boards. In 1937 he broke off this apprenticeship and started working as an apprentice lithographer in an art print shop . There he met a number of painters who had their works printed there. With them he mainly painted nudes and portraits . In 1941, at the age of 17, he was drafted into the army (Wehrmacht) and was taken prisoner by the Soviets in 1943. 1947 returned as wounded to Hamburg, he came as a patient in the University Hospital Eppendorf in Dora Klostermann , the head nurse of the surgical clinic. She was impressed by Edelmann's drawings and the intensity with which he also worked on them in the hospital. As an art lover and collector, she opened her large collection of German Expressionists to him. In the bitterly poor post - war period she supported him with small sums of money. She made it possible for him to study in the country and made connections with gallery owners and collectors. Theodor-Otto Lindenschmidt , then a young assistant at the UKE, was also fascinated by the young artist. He supported him for many years and commissioned him in 1966 to draft the title for the program for the winter conference of the Association of Northwest German Surgeons .
In 1948 Hanno Edelmann began studying art at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts. He first spent a few semesters in Professor Krubeck's graphics class and then switched to Willem Grimm's painting class . He financed his studies by illustrating books.

After graduating in 1953, he went on study trips to Holland and Spain with his wife, the artist Erika Estag. Many large-format oil paintings were created in Spain in particular. Against the trend of the time, Hanno Edelmann preferred representational painting. The trip to Spain had a great influence on his work in the studio - the colors of his pictures became more intense, his style more confident. In 1960 the first major solo exhibition was opened in the Hamburg Ethnographic Museum .
In 1962 Hanno Edelmann was commissioned to design the windows for the Martin Luther Church in Hamburg-Alsterdorf . In the years that followed, 20 more orders for the project planning of church windows followed. Several trips to Greece and Italy gave him new ideas for his painterly work. The Venice Carnival in particular motivated him to create a number of characteristic works.
In the 1980s, Hanno Edelmann began designing sculptures, especially those made of cast bronze. Sculptures, large-format oil paintings, watercolors and graphics show the artist's creative diversity. He drew the maps for the German translation of the book Die Bibel im Licht der Altertumsforschung (1957) by William Foxwell Albright . One of Edelmann's Fleet pictures adorns the cover of “Surgery in the North” (2017).
