Harry Schultz (born March 14, 1874 in Elbing , † September 22, 1958 in Hausham , Upper Bavaria ) was a German painter .

Life

His father August Schultz worked as a teacher at the grammar school in Elbing from around 1870, he and his wife Hulda lived at Spieringstrasse 10. On March 14, 1874, Johann Harry Schultz was born in Elbing at Spieringstrasse 10. As far as is known, he also had a brother, Hans, who died very young. Harry Schultz attended the Elbinger Gymnasium and from 1892 to 1897 the Königsberg Art Academy .

On November 20, 1897, Harry Schultz was registered at the Munich Art Academy under the matriculation number 1809 in the matriculation book 1884–1920 at the age of 23 . The subject of registration: Paul Hoecker painting school . He finished his studies in 1901. Harry Schultz was a student of Franz von Lenbach , Wilhelm Leibl and Arnold Böcklin in Munich . Then Harry Schultz was a master student of Herterich . Harry Schultz was a member and also a member of the jury of the Luitpold Group of the Munich Artists' Cooperative of 1868, the Association of Drawing Artists and the Munich Allotria in the Munich Künstlerhaus . Munich became a second home for Harry Schultz, where he lived from 1897 to 1943, until he had to leave his apartment and studio at Georgenstrasse 86, which had been destroyed by the war . Harry Schultz previously lived and worked at Georgenstrasse 63 on the fourth floor, this address is handwritten on an older painting on the reverse. Harry Schultz created the set “Apotheosis Ship” for the Munich Court Theater, for the performance of the emperor on the occasion of the laying of the foundation stone of the German Museum .

Harry Schultz moved with his wife Theresa Maria, called Maja, on August 24, 1943 to his sister-in-law, an older sister of Maria, in Hausham in Upper Bavaria. He lived and worked there - he was allowed to set up a studio in the basement of the town hall - for another 15 years until his death. Schultz died at the age of 84 on September 22, 1958 on the way back from Munich's Oktoberfest . At the Oktoberfest he liked to collect study objects, which he then painted on canvas at home. On his last trip in the bus, he suffered a stroke just before Hausham. He could still be brought back to his apartment in the town hall and died there. Schultz was one of the first to be buried in the newly created cemetery in Hausham. In addition to the entry in the burial book, one line: “gest. September 22, 1958, beerd. Row 5 / III-III ”, a self-portrait of the artist that hangs in the town hall reminds him of him in Hausham. His grave has been re-occupied since 1992.

His environment

In Munich, Schultz was friends with Ferdinand Mirwald (1872–1948), who may have introduced him to the Dachau artists' colony , but Daniel Staschus was also at home here. On April 16 and 29, Harry Schultz will send two self-painted postcards to Mr. Carl Cuolt, which Otto Bleutzer, Klara Bleiche and one Mr. Schinabek helped to sign. On July 15, 1906, Harry Schultz and Otto Bleutzer invited the teacher Carl Cuolt from Tettnang in Württemberg to the shooting festival in Munich. Another good friend and colleague was the poet and painter Daniel Staschus from East Prussia , who last lived in Lindau on Lake Constance . Daniel Staschus' estate contained four oil paintings and approx. 80 graphics by Harry Schultz, some of them threefold. A sales list from 1920 suggests that Daniel Staschus sold pictures and graphics for Schultz and had the works found in the estate on commission. On the photo: from left Harry Schultz, Maria Schultz and the Staschus couple after 1921 somewhere in the Alps in the Lindau area.

On the basis of his New Year's greeting cards it can be seen that he met his future wife, Theresa Maria Wimmer (1879–1960), around 1919 in Munich in 1920. On the cards from 1909/1917/1918/1919 / and 1920 only Harry Schultz wishes a new year, only from 1921 on is Maja and Harry Schultz or Harry Schultz and wife among them. He also dedicated a nativity scene to his “dear sister-in-law Rosa” for the Christmas atelier in 1920 Photo: Private collection, Munich. Harry Schultz and Maria Wimmer got married in September 1920 at Georgenstrasse 63 in Munich.

water sports

Schultz had his 25 m² older dinghy and a dinghy, which the Americans confiscated from him in 1945 , in a club on Lake Starnberg . Harry Schultz had been a member of the MYC since 1915, and later an honorary member. In 1953 he founded the Harry Schultz Prize for Dragons . He occupied himself a lot with his pictures on and around the club area. Harry Schultz made many of his sailor pictures available as regatta prizes. His pastose, bright paint application and the brisk, loose brushstroke make his pictures appear to us like snapshots of a beautiful day of sailing on the water or on land. How lasting the admiration for the Commodore Reinhard Scheer from Weimar was after his death is shown by the fact that on the occasion of the renovation of the clubhouse around 1930, an "Admiral-Scheer Corner" was designed by Schultz, the execution of which shaped the appearance of the casino for a long time. The »SMS Ostfriesland« - the flagship of the second Commodore Admiral Ehrhard Schmidt , painted by Schultz, he painted Admiral Scheer and also his cruiser.
