Hermann Daur
Albert Hermann Daur (born February 21, 1870 in Stetten , today a district of Lörrach ; † February 21, 1925 in Ötlingen , today Weil am Rhein ) was a German painter and graphic artist.
Life
His training began in 1885 at the Schieder drawing school in Basel. In 1886 Hermann Daur began studying at the Karlsruhe School of Applied Arts with Franz Sales Meyer and Max Laeuger . In 1888 he became an assistant at the watchmaking school in Furtwangen . From 1891 to 1902 Daur studied at the Grand Ducal Art School in Karlsruhe with Ernst Schurth , Robert Poetzelberger and Carlos Grethe . After attending the painting class with Leopold von Kalckreuth and studying in the graphics class with Walter Conz , he finished his studies in 1902 as a master student of Hans Thoma . During his semester break he stayed more often in the Dachau painters' colony with Adolf Hölzel . From 1895 onwards there were annual stays in the farming and fishing village of Duhnen near Cuxhaven , where he met his future wife Margarete Boldt. Since 1906 Daur has been a freelance artist in Ötlingen in southern Baden, which is now a district of Weil am Rhein . In 1909 he went on a study trip to the Swiss Engadine .
plant
Daur is one of the early members of the Karlsruhe Artists' Union . Above all, he is considered the painter of his homeland, the southern Black Forest, especially the Wiesental (his "home valley "). Motifs from the Upper Rhine region, the Markgräflerland and the Bohrertal in Horben found atmospheric representations in his painting. Daur's works reveal the influence of the Grötzinger Malerschule and Hans Thoma . They show, like his portraits, stylistic elements of Art Nouveau .
Appreciation
In his honor, paths are named after him in Duhnen near Cuxhaven as well as in Binzen and Ötlingen. In addition, the elementary school in Ötlingen and a hut and a fountain on the Tüllinger Berg bear his name. In 2013 the Dreiländermuseum and the Paul-Ibenthaler -Haus Lörrach presented a double exhibition with the titles "HERMANN DAUR - the Markgräfler Landscapes" in the Dreiländermuseum and "ZEITWEIT Hermann Daur and Johannes Buchholz, landscape drawings" in the Paul-Ibenthaler-Haus Lörrach.
