Hertha Jugl-Jennewein

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hertha Jugl-Jennewein (* as Hertha Duschk ; February 21, 1920 in Vienna ; † June 24, 1997 there ) was an Austrian painter and journalist.

education

After graduating from a secondary school, Hertha Jugl-Jennewein studied from October 1946 at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in the class of Robin Christian Andersen , with whom she also took private lessons. In June 1950 she received her diploma as an academic painter with the following wording: “Ms. Jennewein is very talented and hardworking and has an excellent overall performance. She will be able to achieve the goal she has set because of her great joy in working and the seriousness of her work. "

Artistic connections

From 1947 to 1953 she had a close artistic exchange of ideas with her fellow student and later member of the Vienna Secession, Rudolf Hradil . Around 30 detailed letters have been preserved in which he characterized his teachers and colleagues, described difficulties and successes in painting, discussed ideas with her, discussed plans and showed her designs. Her estate also includes Hradil's still life jug with a bouquet of ranunculus from 1949, which she received from him as a gift.

Other friends and correspondents from art and culture were Heimito von Doderer in the early 1960s, the journalist and author Dietmar Grieser and the playwright W. Somerset Maugham .

plant

A self-portrait is from 1966/1967 (oil on wood, 49.5 × 34.5 cm, private collection). In 1968 she painted the Japanologist Peter Pantzer (oil on canvas, private collection). She gave the Schottenpfarre a picture of the Schottenkirche in Vienna with the drawer house and the Schottenapotheke next to it, but it has disappeared. Most of her earlier works have also been lost.

She either did not sign her pictures or used the abbreviation "HJ", after her second marriage with "HJJ". Due to family and economic needs, she finally gave up painting and worked regularly for around 20 years under the pseudonym Madame Coeur as a " mailbox aunt " for the weekly newspaper Der Saturday .

Private

Her first marriage was to the saxophonist Kurt Jennewein (1917-1944), who died in 1944 as a sergeant major in the Wehrmacht in Russia. From this marriage she had sons Kurt and Michael. In February 1951 she married Paul Jugl (1908–1989) civilly, in 1965 also in church.

She is buried at the Döblinger Friedhof.
