Life

Herma Körding, daughter of a Hamburg family, began her art studies in 1948 at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe in Wilhelm Schnarrenberger's painting class and Otto Laible's drawing class . In 1950 she went to Paris to the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts , where she attended the class of Jean Dupas (1882–1964), and in 1951 to the Académie Julian zu André Planson (1898–1981). From 1953 to 1956 she attended the Düsseldorf Art Academy , where she worked in Ferdinand Macketanz's studio .

After receiving a scholarship from Harvard University, Körding was the first woman to receive the Palatinate Prize for Painting from the State of Rhineland-Palatinate in 1963 and, in 1972, the “Croix de Chevalier pour l'Art et Humanisme” in Lyon. With Konrad Klapheck and others, Körding influenced the Düsseldorf art scene. At the end of the 1960s, she fought for the Düsseldorf artists to have their own exhibition rooms; the city made these available almost exclusively to male colleagues. In the early 1970s, the artists were able to design an exhibition in the old fair on Fischerstrasse. Körding was a member of the Malkasten artists' association and for years the only woman on its board. In painting, her artistic work focused on still life , landscape and portrait painting as well as drawings .

Herma Körding died on May 31, 2010 at the age of 82 in Düsseldorf. Her portrait sculpture, made by the sculptor Karl-Heinz Klein , is on the grave of the Weiberg family, Nordfriedhof Düsseldorf .
