Karl Brutzer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl Brutzer (born July 22, 1894 in Weingarten (Baden) , † March 7, 1964 in Karlsruhe ) was a painter of German Impressionism .

Life

Brutzer initially studied at the Karlsruhe School of Applied Arts. He was a soldier during the First World War. 1918-27 he took up his studies again, this time at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe . He was a student of Hans Adolf Bühler and a master student of the late impressionist Albert Haueisen . In 1932 he went on a study trip to Hungary. After 1933 he was banned from working. In 1937 he moved to Stuttgart , where he worked at the Kunsthaus Schubert-Locke. In the years 1943–1944 he was a soldier. In 1948 he moved back to Karlsruhe.

Artistic creation

Although Brutzer had made several trips abroad, he preferred subjects from his southwest German homeland (including landscapes on Lake Constance), as well as Impressionist still lifes and portraits. After 1945 his work also took on expressive realism .

A well-known early work by the painter, which shows the house of the sculptor Karl Albiker , reveals the unmistakable style of the later work in a nutshell: "A painting by Karl Brutzer, which must have been created before Albiker moved to the Dresden Academy in 1920, forms the garden with a large statue, undoubtedly the work of the host. "

Works (selection)

Works by Brutzer are in the Staatliche Kunsthalle Karlsruhe and in the Städtische Galerie Karlsruhe (formerly the Städtische Kunstsammlungen Karlsruhe). Impressionist works before his professional ban are less common than later works. Contributing to this was the fact that his studio and 150 works were destroyed in a bomb attack during the Second World War.
