Heinrich Hönich
Heinrich Hönich (born October 5, 1873 in Niederhanichen ( Reichenberg district , today Liberec-Dolní Hanychov), † September 5, 1957 in Gstadt am Chiemsee ) was a Bohemian painter and graphic artist .
life and work
Heinrich Hönich was originally a lithographer and then studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden and the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague with Maximilián Pirner . After that he led an inconsistent wandering life and had been based in Munich since 1906. He painted landscapes and figures, but was primarily an eraser. Hönich is usually characterized as an open realist and secret fantasy. Despite the infinitely accurate and faithful reproduction, all of his works have a large aspect. One of his main sheets is the etching “Mother and Child in Mountain Landscape”. There are also a number of witty bookplates by him, as well as posters, commercial graphics and lithographs (self-portrait, portraits of his mother, portrait of Kurt Eisner), which are lighter and more lively in line than the etchings and pen drawings, hardly in any way reminiscent of them. The portfolios published from 1917 to 1920 were “On the Tyrolean Front”, “On the Galician Front”, “From Cattaro to Scutari” and “Oden to Nature”. Hönich took part in the Munich Glass Palace exhibitions from 1907 to 1927 . From 1928 to 1945 he was a professor at the Prague Art Academy. His most famous students include Max Geyer , Josef Vietze , Max Zeschitz and Oskar Kreibich . After the expulsion in 1945 he made a fresh start in Gstadt am Chiemsee .
