Hugo Richter-Lefensdorf

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hugo Richter-Lefensdorf (born January 9, 1854 in Levensdorf near Waren (Müritz) , † April 22, 1904 in Ahrenshoop ) was a German landscape , portrait and still life painter and etcher .

Life

Hugo Richter-Lefensdorf received his training in Berlin at the Akademie der Künste under Eugen Bracht and Christian Wilberg . In the 1880s he was based in Berlin, as can be seen from the catalog information on his pictures shown at the Berlin exhibitions of the Royal Academy of the Arts, as well as from 1894 at the great Berlin art exhibitions . During this time, study trips must have taken him to Bavaria , the Ötztal and Venice , as the titles of the paintings on display reveal. He was a member of the Association of Berlin Artists .

Around 1890 Richter-Lefensdorf came to Ahrenshoop, where he had his house built at Dorfstrasse 30 in 1896. Alongside Paul Müller-Kaempff , Elisabeth von Eicken , Friedrich Wachenhusen and Fritz Grebe, he was part of the founding generation of the Ahrenshoop artists' colony . Until 1903 he regularly took part in the Berlin exhibitions, but could not cope with a rejection of his works in 1904 and chose to commit suicide . He did not do this out of an offended sense of honor, as is sometimes claimed, but because he "would literally have starved to death" without the sale of his pictures. He was buried in the Ahrenshooper cemetery.
