Hermann Glöckner
Hermann Glöckner (born January 21, 1889 in Cotta near Dresden ; † May 10, 1987 in Berlin ) was a German constructivist painter and sculptor.
Life
From 1904 to 1911, Hermann Glöckner attended evening courses with Edmund Schuchardt and Kurt Fiedler at the Dresden School of Applied Arts . From 1914 to 1918 he was a soldier in the First World War. In 1923/24 he studied at the Dresden Art Academy under Otto Gussmann .
In 1945 was due to the war lost much of his work. From 1945 to 1948 Glöckner was a member of the artist group " Der Ruf ". After the Second World War he lived and worked in the GDR , and in the last years of his life also in West Berlin .
As a co-founder of constructivism , he was denied recognition until the 1950s. Nonetheless, undeterred, withdrawn from the art world, in his late work he created a large number of building-related commissions, sculptures and collages that were made available to a wider public through friends.
In 1983 he received the Hans Grundig Medal and in 1984 the National Prize of the GDR III. Art and literature class. In 1984 the documentary filmmaker Jürgen Böttcher made a biographical film about him with the title “Short visit to Hermann Glöckner” (35 mm, color, 32 minutes). His grave is in the Loschwitz cemetery . In 2006, in the same district of Dresden, a new street was named after Hermann Glöckner. In 2000 he was voted one of the “100 Dresdeners of the 20th Century” in the daily newspaper “ Dresdner Latest News ”.
Construction-related "bread" works (excerpt)
As a result of the Nazi campaign Degenerate Art, cut off from the possibility of earning a living with his art directly, Glöckner turned to so-called “building-related 'bread' works” in the years 1937–1944. After he was able to work and exhibit undisturbed artistically in the years 1945–1951, this time the SED-led formalism dispute in 1951 excluded him from the GDR art scene . This time too, Glöckner secured his livelihood through numerous handicrafts on the building until the mid-1950s.
