Hans Fuglsang

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Fuglsang (born January 12, 1889 in Hadersleben , † June 21, 1917 near Juniville ) was a Danish painter and etcher.

Live and act

As a member of the Fuglsang family, Hans Fuglsang was a son of the Hadersleben brewer Christian Fuglsang and his wife Maria, née Stoecker. His brother Fritz Fuglsang was a well-known art historian and museum director.

Fuglsang attended the Johanneum grammar school in Hadersleben, which he left with the upper secondary qualification. The painter Charlotte von Krogh and August Wilckens from Dresden encouraged him to visit the private art school of the Dresden artist Georg Erler . Fuglsang learned here from May 1906 to September 1917. He submitted works to the Munich Art Academy and was given a place without having to take an entrance exam.

Until 1914, Fuglsang mostly learned from Hugo von Habermann in Munich. In 1908, 1909 and 1912 the academy gave an “honorable mention”. In 1912 the Akademie Fuglsang and his friend Franz Klemmer left their own studio. During the semester break he lived mostly in Hadersleben and Fanö . He undertook numerous study and vacation trips: 1908 to Lake Garda, 1909, 1910 and 1913 to Dresden, 1909 to Venice, the following year to Sylt, 1913 to Bayrischzell, 1914 to Bozen and North Friesland. In March 1915 he moved back to Dresden.

In January 1916 Fuglsang was drafted for military service. After training as a gunner, he fought with field artillery in France in the spring of 1916. In January 1917 he took his last vacation trips to Cologne, Hadersleben and Dresden. He died unmarried a few months later in Champagne during the war .

Works

Fuglsang's painting “Alexandra Lemnos” from 1915.

From 1909 Fuglsang painted in the style of late impressionism by Max Slevogt or Lovis Corinth . These oil paintings were portraits and landscapes that he mostly created in his homeland. From 1913 he moved around the Munich Secession and, artistically, approached Albert Weisgerber in particular .

In 1913 Fuglsang painted “Pierrot” in Dresden. The picture was shown at a Secession exhibition in 1914 and earned him initial recognition. Fuglsang mostly painted figures, preferring dancers and scenes from cafés. There were also some depictions of cemeteries, landscapes and portraits. He designed the paintings atmospheric, partly clayey and intensely colored in the style of impressionism.

Fuglsang also designed combined brush and pen drawings, most of which show motifs from ancient mythology. He worked much more modern and with a more independent style than with his oil paintings. Based on the drawings by Hans von Marées , he designed figures and landscapes in late Art Nouveau from 1910 onwards. He abbreviated formulaic and also used style elements of expressionism. After visiting the theater in Dresden, he created the cyclical graphic depictions of Penthesilea and Salome in the winter of 1914/15 . In 1915 he created further drawing cycles on “Passion”, “Fasching” and “St. Severin ". For the last cycle he had received an order from the St. Severin Church in Alt-Hadersleben.

When Fuglsang visited Dresden in 1913, he tried his hand at etching for the first time with Georg Erler. He then successfully created other such images, especially portraits and nudes. During his lifetime he only had one solo exhibition in May 1916 in the Dresden Kunsthalle Emil Richter.

Fuglsang was seen as a nervous and reserved person with changing health problems, but who was also enthusiastic about the Munich carnival. He achieved his best results when he worked purely fantastic. He created wild figures without firmly structured lines with nervous strokes. In the course of time he completely turned away from Art Nouveau and worked with his own sign language. In the beginning he preferred fine-line curvatures, clear proportions and harmonious compositions. Later he worked increasingly expressionist.

Fuglsang left behind around 110 paintings and oil studies, around 350 drawings, around 10 sketchbooks, some of which were broken up, and around 80 etchings, most of which passed into the family's possession. His brother Fritz helped the Flensburg Municipal Museum to produce around 100 drawings and 50 prints of etchings. Further pictures went to the Nissenhaus in Husum , the Kiel art gallery and a museum in Hadersleben. 56 etchings are in the Kiel art gallery.

The Flensburg Museum dedicated an exhibition to him in 2017.
