Hansl Bock
Hansl Bock (born September 22, 1893 as Johanna Susanne Maria Vogel in Munich , † January 7, 1973 in Freising ) was a German painter and belongs to the lost generation of German art.
Life
Hansl Bock was the daughter of the painter Johanna Merre and the stepdaughter of the painter Franz Hienl-Merre , who had studied under Adolf Münzer , and through his influence found access to the Scholle artists' association . She received further artistic influences from her husband Ludwig Bock and the painter Julius Seyler , under whom she studied. Educational trips took place in Italy and Spain, as well as stays in Strasbourg and Paris, where she had her own studio in 1924. She had her first exhibition in 1927, after which she became a member of the Jury-Free Art Exhibition , her last exhibition took place in 1935. As with so many of the lost generation, her work was interrupted, if not completely destroyed, by the war years. After the end of the war, Bock was never able to continue her early successes as a painter.
plant
Her style is initially influenced by her family, later, after her trips to Europe, she follows Maurice Utrillo , Henri Matisse and Paul Gauguin , who was heavily influenced by the dwindling expressionism and also by naive art . Her pictures are kept very pure colors, rich in contrast, in her painting technique she prefers the impasto application, which makes the pictures appear almost relief-like, with a nervous hand spontaneously applied colors, with sometimes (consciously?) Hard dissonant breaks and transitions. The pronounced figurative and perspective distortion of her preserved works suggest echoes of surrealism and residual influences of Dadaism .
