Irmgard Kanold (born February 9, 1915 in Hamburg ; † April 24, 1976 there ) was a German sculptor .
Life
Irmgard Kanold grew up in the Hamburg district of Wandsbek , her parents owned a chemical factory. After finishing school, she initially received a two-year training course from the Hamburg sculptor and ceramist Jürgen Hinrich Block (1904–2002). In the mid-1930s she studied at the Düsseldorf Academy with Edwin Scharff and then at the Munich Academy with the sculptor Bernhard Bleeker .
Then Irmgard Kanold returned permanently to Hamburg. There she had a studio under the Dehnheide subway bridge in the Hamburg-Barmbek-Süd district , where she also lived during the war and in the post-war period. In 1950 she moved to Hamburg-Groß Flottbek , from where she took over the sole management of her parents' factory from 1966.
In addition to designing her works, about the scope of which little is known, Irmgard Kanold gave private lessons. One of her students was Georg Engst (* 1930), whom she introduced to special techniques of stone and clay, with a focus on ceramic production. In addition, Irmgard Kanold began to take part in collective exhibitions. In 1952 she joined the “ Hamburgische Künstlerschaft ” and in 1961 was a co-founder of the artist group “Fähre 8”, which included the painters Wilhelm Hesselbach (1907–1960) and Meinhard Seeck (1900–1973).
Irmgard Kanold's tombstone, a mourning swan, created by herself, is located in the area of the women's garden at Hamburg's Ohlsdorf cemetery .
