Josef Achmann
Josef Achmann (born May 26, 1885 in Regensburg , † October 25, 1958 in Schliersee ) was a German painter and graphic artist .
Life
Josef Achmann grew up in Regensburg as the son of a master potter . In 1906 he began his artistic training in Munich at the Westenrieder art school with Hans Fleischmann ; in the summer semester of 1907 he moved to the Academy of Fine Arts . From 1908–11 he had his own studio in Regensburg (in the so-called Runtingerhaus , a medieval patrician castle), and from 1912–14 he studied in Paris . In 1917, a joint exhibition with George Grosz , Max Pechstein and Erich Heckel followed in Munich .
From 1919 to 1921 Achmann edited the expressionist magazine Die Sichel together with the poet Georg Britting . The oil painting Die Brennsuppeesser (1919), with a sickle in the background, pays homage to this collaboration .
After 1935 Achmann was banned from exhibiting; his paintings were removed from public galleries. From 1940 until his death he lived in Schliersee.
Achmann was married to the actress Magda Lena (formerly Magdalena von Perfall , 1883–1940; daughter of Anton von Perfall ). She was engaged at the Munich Residenztheater and directed a private drama school; Hans Baur and Peter Pasetti were among her students .
A dissertation (with a list of works) is currently being prepared on Achmann's graphic work at the Institute of Art History at the University of Regensburg.
