Life

Heinrich Andreas Gans was born in Ausleben in the Magdeburg Börde in 1890 as the son of a long-established family of farmers . For the later takeover of his parents' estate, Heinrich Gans first studied economics and agricultural science and received his doctorate in 1915 at the University of Halle , where he also worked as a research assistant. However, because he was artistically gifted, after private painting stays in Hamburg and Berlin, he finally studied art history in Munich and then lived in Starnberg from 1920 to 1930. During this time, as a painterly self-taught artist , he created numerous impressionist paintings of motifs in Munich and on Lake Starnberg , which were shown at renowned exhibitions of the Munich Secession in 1926, the artists 'association Die Bayern (1929) and the Munich Artists' Cooperative (1930, 1931). His pictures have also been shown several times in the Glass Palace .

Despite his great talent, Gans did not attend the Munich Art Academy because he saw his main professional task as a future farmer on his parents' estate. After the death of his father in 1929, he therefore returned to Ausleben and was actually entrusted with the management of the estate from 1932. In addition, Heinrich Gans was always active as a painter, and continued to produce paintings of landscapes in the home to live out, in Sanssouci, Munich, Starnberg, Andechs and elsewhere. He cultivated friendships with several artist colleagues in the Börde region, such as Thomas Heinrich Uffrecht, Otto Henning and Rudolf Hübener from Haldensleben, and was also involved in exhibitions in Saxony-Anhalt around 1947 .

Around 1953 the property and business were expropriated by the GDR authorities , and Heinrich Gans was even temporarily imprisoned in Haldensleben as an allegedly hostile landowner . In 1954 Gans fled to West Berlin with his wife Maria and settled again in Starnberg (first in Perchastrasse, 1956 in Leutstettner Strasse 2b). From then on he worked his painting professionally and lived from the sale of his pictures. His friendship with his colleague Lilo Fürst-Ramdohr began at a sales exhibition by the Buzentaur Art Circle , who after the death of his wife in 1959, like some neighbors, took care of the aging painter. Heinrich Gans created numerous paintings and was well known in expert circles. In the Munich artist cooperative KGL Priv. In 1868 he was an honorary member for many years. In old age, however, he suffered from progressive macular degeneration and was only able to paint with the help of special glasses, which reinforced his late Impressionist painting style , which was characterized by soft pastel shades . He died childless in Starnberg in 1973 and rests in the communal grave with his wife on the Rieden estate near Leutstetten .

From March to May 1974 his paintings were exhibited in the Munich House of Art . Heinrich Gans is now part of the so-called lost generation of visual artists. Civil status papers, factual files on occupation and work, work photos, personal photos have been stored in the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg since 1975 . Pictures by Heinrich Gans are shown in the Börde Museum Ummendorf , in the Oschersleben District Museum and in a former church building in Ausleben.
