Heinrich Hermanns (born May 19, 1862 in Düsseldorf ; † December 21, 1942 ibid) was a German lithographer as well as landscape , vedute and architecture painter from the Düsseldorf School .

Career

In 1883 Hermanns finished his education at the Städtisches Realgymnasium, Klosterstrasse Düsseldorf and studied from 1883 to 1893 at the Art Academy Düsseldorf , where he was a student of Eugen Dücker (1886/1887), Heinrich Lauenstein , Georg Heinrich Crola and Johann Peter Theodor Janssen . In 1888/1889 he achieved the status of a master student of Dücker. 1889 founded Hermanns - in response to the exhibition policy associated with the Art Academy Art Association of the Rhineland and Westphalia - with Olof Jernberg , Eugen Kampf and Helmuth Liesegang the "Lucas-Club", an advanced combination of landscape painters, the suggestions of the Hague School and the Tried to combine the Barbizon School with the achievements of Impressionism . In 1891 the "Lucas Club" was subordinated to the newly founded Free Association of Düsseldorf Artists , from which, however, in 1899 the "St. Lukas Club "(founded by Hermanns, Jernberg, Liesegang, August Deusser , Otto Heichert , Arthur Kampf , Gustav Wendling , among others ) and the" Vereinigung von 1899 "split off.

Hermanns developed a particular fondness for the landscapes of Holland, West and Northwest Germany, which he painted with rich colors and a wide application of paint. Hermanns undertook long study trips to Italy (Northern Italy, especially Lake Garda, Naples and Sicily), France, Spain and the Netherlands (especially Amsterdam and other cities in Holland). In later work he increasingly turned to architectural painting ( city ​​views and interiors), often using watercolors and trying to reproduce less the architectural details and more the moods of the light and the atmosphere. Until the 1930s Hermanns exhibited at major German art exhibitions ( Munich Glass Palace 1889, 1891; Large Berlin Art Exhibition 1893–1918; Düsseldorf-Munich Art Exhibition, Kunstpalast Düsseldorf 1932 ). His works found their way into numerous European and American collections. Hermanns was a member of the artists' association Malkasten from 1891 to 1913 and 1930 to 1942 . In 1900 Hermanns was appointed by Wilhelm Schäfer to the artistic advisory board of the cultural magazine Die Rheinlande . In 1904 he received a small gold medal at the Great Berlin Art Exhibition .

On his 70th birthday in 1932, Richard Klapheck praised Hermanns as the “most versatile representative of Eugen Dücker's landscape school at the Düsseldorf Academy”, who, in addition to creating “genuinely Dutch” landscapes and street images of Holland and the Niederrheins dedicated "his cultivated watercolors" to the discovery of the "unknown Spain" as well as the representation of impressive church interiors and who "was one of the first to venture to portray the heroic image of the Lower Rhine-Westphalian industry."
