Heinrich Heuser
Heinrich Heuser (born October 12, 1887 in Stralsund ; † September 13, 1967 in Berlin-Wilmersdorf ) was a German visual artist in the field of painting, illustrations, graphics, film architecture and costume design.
Life
Born in Stralsund, he studied painting in Munich with Walter Thor and Angelo Jank from 1906 to 1910 and was a master student of Fritz Mackensen in Weimar. His thesis, the painting “The Crucified”, earned Heuser the Golden Medal of the Academy. In 1912 he joined the Berlin Secession . From 1912 to 1913 Heinrich Heuser went to Paris to study and returned to Germany in February 1919 after the First World War , which he spent on the Eastern Front with subsequent imprisonment in Kiev.
In the same year he settled in Darmstadt and became a founding member of the Darmstadt Secession . Immediately afterwards, Heuser settled in Berlin, where he began his career as a painter. He initially created portraits and landscapes influenced by Vincent van Gogh ; later he devoted himself mainly to graphics and created watercolors . In 1922/23 Heuser made two flying visits to the film. Here he was involved in the two ambitious film productions The Stone Rider and The Lost Shoe as a film architect and costume designer. In 1926 he briefly earned his living in the German capital as a teacher in the Association of Women Artists. He then traveled to Italy, North Africa and the South Seas (Ceylon and Bali in 1926) and South America (Argentina in 1929 and 1955). In 1937 he was classified as "degenerate" by the National Socialists and his pictures were removed from galleries.
