Hans-Werner Matern

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans-Werner Matern (born October 19, 1906 in Rostock , † 1996 in Lübeck ) was a German landscape painter.

Life

Hans-Werner Matern was a son of the Rostock watchmaker and gold worker Albert Matern. Around 1911 the family moved to Lübeck, where the father was again the owner of a watch repair workshop. Matern first attended the art school of Willibald Leo von Lütgendorff-Leinburg in Lübeck . This was followed by studies with Ferdinand Spiegel in Berlin, with Constantin Gerhardinger in Munich and with Georg Burmester at the Kassel Art Academy . From 1927 he taught as an academic drawing teacher in Lübeck, Kassel and Hagen. In 1939 he received the Albrecht Dürer Prize from the city of Nuremberg . In 1940 he was drafted into military service. After the Second World War he began working as a freelance painter in Lübeck.

Matern's mostly small-format pictures, made with a paste-like application of paint, were primarily created before nature. He primarily painted the motifs of his north German homeland, such as the Lübeck Gängeviertel and the Malerwinkel , the settlements of Gothmund and Israelsdorf on the Trave , the Niendorfer Hafen and the Brodtener Ufer on the Baltic Sea, but also in the Lüneburg Heath . Study trips took him to Lake Garda and on via Sicily to Morocco or what was then Yugoslavia.
