Hanns model
Hanns Model (born April 11, 1908 in Posottendorf-Leschwitz , † October 23, 1983 in Stuttgart ) was a German glass artist and master student of Wilhelm von Eiff .
Life
Hanns Model grew up as one of seven children in his birthplace near Görlitz , where he completed an apprenticeship as a glass cutter from 1922 to 1925. At the end of the 1920s he came into contact with Wilhelm von Eiff, where he attended the glass and precious stone processing course at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart from 1929 to 1933 . In 1933 he opened his own workshop in Stuttgart. During the course of the Second World War he was drafted as a soldier in 1940, was wounded and was taken prisoner by the Americans, from which he returned in 1945. In 1947 he was a founding member of the Association of Craftsmen Stuttgart eV and from 1948 to 1973 its first chairman. The Bund der Kunsthandwerker Stuttgart eV merged in 1974 with the Badischer Kunstgewerbeverein to form the Bund der Kunsthandwerker Baden-Württemberg eV.

As an artist, Hanns Model developed his own style with his tool - the grinding wheel - in the processing of glass workpieces, both everyday objects such as drinking glasses, bowls and vases, as well as glass door panels and architectural elements such as glass partitions and church windows. In the Liederhalle in Stuttgart, Hanns Model designed the upper part of the foyer and the entrances to the middle hall. In particular, the use of the matt cut technique, in which surfaces on the glass object remain unpolished - that is, "rough" - became a distinguishing feature of his work. Works by him can be found, for example, in the Museum of Applied Art in Cologne , the Museum of Design in Zurich and the Frauenau Glass Museum . The European Museum for Modern Glass also owns objects by Hanns Model, the pictures of which can be accessed via the museum's online research.
