Heinrich Wägenbaur
Heinrich Wägenbaur , also Heiner Wägenbaur , (born June 22, 1897 in Cologne , † 1976 ) was a German painter of magical realism .
Wägenbaur first studied painting in Stuttgart. For the winter semester 1930/31 he enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich in painting. Heinrich Wägenbaur was a member of the Stuttgart New Secession . Wägenbaur had a studio in Nehren south of Tübingen.
Within the style principle of magical realism, Wägenbaur preserved his personal expression in a composition technique of extraordinary clarity. He maintained this specific, clear compositional technique both in landscapes such as “Bodensee” (1939) and in portraits of persons such as “Group of Four Girls” (1963) or “Floating-Sleeping Lovers Over the City” (1963) throughout his life as an artist . Wägenbaur's portraits of people are often characterized by a block-like, tectonic conception of the body.
