Hellmut Bachrach-Barée

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hellmut (Helmuth) Bachrach-Barée (born August 25, 1898 in Munich ; † April 14, 1964 there ) was a German portrait, animal and landscape painter.

Life

He was the son of the painter Emanuel Bachrach-Barée ( 1863-1943 ) and Rosa Hellmut. As a student of Angelo Jank and Heinrich von Zügel , he adopted their neo-impressionist style of painting . Only in his early works can the finer brush technique of his father be recognized. He combined his depictions of animals with those of working people against a recognizable landscape background. He later developed his own painterly and colouristic style, often in an autumnal mood.

In 1923 he exhibited in the Munich Glass Palace . Despite the down-to-earth subject matter of his works, he was denied "aptitude for promoting German culture" by the Nazi state in 1933 and in 1936 he was banned from working. In November 1944 he was sent to the Buchenwald satellite camp in Staßfurt near Dessau , and in April 1945 he took part in the death march of the Buchenwald prisoners towards Dachau ; one of the drawings he made during the march (Men from Dachau concentration camp, April 1945) is in the Yad Vashem memorial. In 1946 he exhibited his works in the Baudenbach Gallery in Munich.
