Life

The father and landscape painter Carl Jungheim (1830–1886) was a member of the Düsseldorf School of Painting and had been a member of the Malkasten artists' association since it was founded in 1848 .

Julius Jungheim studied at the Royal Prussian Art Academy in Düsseldorf with the landscape and animal painter Julius Bergmann , in Antwerp with de Vriendt and at the Royal Academy of Arts in Berlin with the landscape painters Eugen Bracht and Friedrich Kallmorgen . From 1904 to 1910 Jungheim was a member of the Malkasten artists' association. From 1904 he sent to the Great Berlin Art Exhibition and the Munich Annual Exhibition in the Glaspalast . He was a member of the Sonderbund founded in Düsseldorf in 1909 .

In 1914 Jungheim married Johanna Hobelmann (1884 Düsseldorf - 1956 Hadamar) in Düsseldorf. The marriage produced three daughters. In 1915 Jungheim and his wife moved to Berlin, where their first daughter Ursula was born a year later (died in 1922 in Düsseldorf). In 1916 the family moved to Cologne. In 1918 the second daughter Hildegard was born in Düsseldorf. Hilde von Steinrück-Jungheim, an art teacher and landscape painter (died 1992 in Düsseldorf), studied like her father at the Düsseldorf Art Academy with Walter von Wecus , Wilhelm Schmurr and Franz Kiederich . She was sponsored by Max Clarenbach . From 1919 to 1921 Jungheim gave Bruno Goller private painting lessons. From 1920 until his death he was again listed as a member of the paint box. In 1921 the third daughter Eva was born in Düsseldorf. In 1943 the family moved to Weichsel in the Teschen / Silesia district , where their daughter Hildegard lived. After the loss of his house and all of the paintings and sketches kept there in World War II , the painter was evacuated to Dankmarshausen in Thuringia . In 1950 the family moved back to Düsseldorf, where Julius Jungheim died in 1957 at the age of 79.

Jungheim mainly painted scenic motifs from the Lower Rhine and Westphalia. He represented a bright and colorful palette. As early as 1910 he found a neo-impressionist style. His painting style is characterized by impasto brushwork that builds up the picture in a constructive interaction. His individuality was characterized by the fact that the dabs of color applied in pastose brushwork did not cause the surface to dissolve, but rather build up the picture in constructive cooperation. Individual image segments, differentiated in terms of color and structure, appear to have developed into abstraction, but result in a mutual interplay of landscape depths. Jungheim, who with his art himself met with rejection from the innovative "Sonderbund" painters, but who did not follow any further stylistic developments until his death, must be counted among the painters who took the traditional framework of Düsseldorf art towards new developments broke through.

Paintings by Julius Jungheim are in the collection of the Museum Kunstpalast . In the past few years, the painter's works have repeatedly found their way into the art auction trade.
