Helmut Josef Schilhabel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Helmut Josef Schilhabel (* 1896 in Burgstadt near Posen , † 1972 in Hamburg ) was a German painter of late impressionism .

Life

Schilhabel studied from 1915 to 1916 at the Düsseldorf Art Academy under Fritz Roeber , who was director and successor to Johann Peter Theodor Janssen from 1908 to 1924 . He participated in the First World War and settled in Düsseldorf after the war ended in 1918. During the Second World War he served as a medic in the Navy on the auxiliary cruiser Pinguin .

Helmut Josef Schilhabel remained stylistically connected to French Impressionist painting and Flemish landscape painting throughout his life and created landscape paintings and river sections using the open-air painting technique in oil paints on cardboard or linen .

His works are not dated and do not adapt to the changing art styles. His small-format landscapes, rivers and seascapes were kept in a blurred style in brown, earthy tone colors and technically and stylistically cite the landscapes of the Flemish painter Jan van Goyen . He became known for his north German landscape paintings.

After his death in 1972, he was initially forgotten, but from 2004 onwards his works were increasingly being auctioned.
