Heinrich Carpenter
Heinrich Tischler (born May 25, 1892 in Cosel , Silesia, † December 16, 1938 in Breslau ) was a German painter , architect and graphic artist .
Live and act
Carpenter grew up in Breslau from 1897. After graduating from high school, he trained as a carpenter and then worked in the building trade. From 1912 he attended the architecture and painting classes at the State Academy for Arts and Crafts in Wroclaw. Tischler was friends with Otto Mueller , who had taught at the academy as a professor since 1919.
He experienced the First World War as a soldier. After the war he worked as a freelance painter and architect in Wroclaw and the surrounding area. Among other things, from 1927 to 1928 he created the interior of the Petersdorff department store in Wroclaw and the renovation of the Gurassa office building in Opole .
Carpenter painted, drew and made etchings and lithographs. The main subjects of his work were the desolate social conditions of the post-war period, using the stylistic devices of Expressionism .
With the handover of power to the National Socialists , the career of the Jew carpenter came to an abrupt end. After initial work bans, interrogations and other harassment, he was sent to the Buchenwald concentration camp in 1938 .
Carpenter's widow, who was able to save some of his pictures, managed to escape to Great Britain. The estate came into the possession of the Kassel art collector Hans Peter Reisse , who sold it to the Silesian Museum in Görlitz along with other works by artists who belonged to the Breslau Academy .
