Life

Troendle studied from 1900 to 1904 at the arts and crafts school and at the Karlsruhe art academy with Ludwig Schmid-Reutte , Emil Lugo and Hans Thoma . In 1906 he moved to Munich and there met Jan Verkade , Curt Herrmann and Alexej von Jawlensky . From 1908 to 1912 Troendle stayed in Paris, where he frequented the Café du Dôme and was friends with artists such as Ahlers-Hestermann, Purrmann, Levy, but also Redon, Pascin and Bonnard. During this time Troendle continued his training with Paul Sérusier and Maurice Denis . In addition to the work of the Nabis , he was particularly impressed by the works of Paul Cézanne .

After returning from France, he traveled to the Netherlands, Belgium, England, Italy and Switzerland (1917–1919). In 1912/13, for example, Troendle visited Forte del Marmi together with Theodor Däubler .

Max Liebermann organized exhibitions for Troendle in Berlin , while he ran a painting school in Munich. In 1914, as a member of the International Association of Artists, he took part in the first exhibition of the New Secession . He joined this in 1921. From 1929 until the forced dissolution of the DKB by the National Socialists in 1936, Hugo Troendle participated as a full member of the German Association of Artists in its major annual exhibitions, and from 1930 he was a member of the Baden Secession .

In 1923 he received the Albrecht Dürer Prize from the city of Nuremberg, and in 1927 the Free State of Bavaria awarded Troendle the title of Professor of Fine Arts. During the Nazi dictatorship , Troendle's work was considered " degenerate art ".

After the Second World War , Troendle was a member of the Neue Gruppe and in 1952 received the City of Munich's Culture Prize. A first commemorative exhibition was organized by the Munich Art Association in 1955 , and three oil paintings by Hugo Troendle were shown in another (collective) exhibition for the deceased members of the Neue Gruppe in the Haus der Kunst . In 1970, a street in the Munich district of Moosach was named after him.

Landscapes and genre scenes with laundresses and bathers by the stream were Troendle's central themes. The picture structure of Cézanne with the independence of the colors and the consolidation of the pictorial form had a strong influence on him. Troendle is one of the artists who further developed French art in Germany. But he also processed tendencies of late impressionism.

As an art writer, Troendle published articles on Degas, Poussin, Redon, Verkade, Vuillard and Sérusier.
