Hella Hirschfelder-Stüve
Hella Hedwig Luise Hirschfelder-Stüve , b. Wolcke (born March 14, 1905 in Mehlauken / East Prussia , † March 12, 1977 in Osnabrück ) was a German visual artist .
Life
She studied in Berlin with Georg Tappert , Willy Jaeckel and Harro Siegel, among others . In 1934 she married Hans Heinrich Hirschfelder. Since 1938 she lived in Osnabrück. She was a member of the Federal Association of Visual Artists (BBK) and gave art classes in Osnabrück. In 2010 a retrospective was dedicated to her in the Kulturhistorisches Museum Osnabrück .
East Prussia
East Prussian landscapes and still lifes determined the beginning of their journey through life . These early works are characterized by an idyllic and nature-loving character. Hella Hirschfelder-Stüve repeatedly painted the places of her childhood and youth in restrained colors. The early interest in art was supported by parents. They enabled their daughter to study at the Königsberg Art Academy .
Berlin
The desire for further training led the artist to the Berlin Academy of the Arts . She was fascinated by the pulsating life of this big city in the legendary twenties . The clash of modernity and past and the cultural diversity made her subjects of her works. In contrast to East Prussia , Hella Hirschfelder-Stüve in Berlin primarily focused on graphics .
Osnabrück
Meanwhile married to Hans Heinrich Hirschfelder, her life took her to Osnabrück, where she established herself as an artist and participated in many exhibitions. 1944 was her husband. After the war she joined the newly founded Federal Association of Visual Artists. In 1948 she married Dietrich Stüve. In the following creative period, her style matured and numerous portraits, still lifes with flowers and views of Osnabrück were created. The coloring was determined by light and luminous colors, the brushstroke more dynamic and free.
to travel
In the 1950s and 1960s, Hella Hirschfelder-Stüve was finally able to travel. Her travel destinations were repeatedly in Italy, but also Paris , Amrum and Sylt . The landscape painted with a powerful application of paint was the predominant motif at this time. But there were also pictures with characteristic buildings of the travel locations as well as very poetic watercolors .
