Karl Hubbuch

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl Hubbuch (born November 21, 1891 in Karlsruhe , † December 26, 1979 in Karlsruhe) was a German painter , lithographer and art professor .

Life

Karl Hubbuch was the son of a telegraph officer from Karlsruhe. Hubbuch attended the State Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe between 1908 and 1912 , where he became friends with Rudolf Schlichter and Georg Scholz . He then studied at the school of the Museum of Applied Arts in Berlin under Emil Orlik , at the same time as George Grosz was a course participant there.

In 1914 he volunteered in the military and served as an artilleryman until 1918. From 1920 to 1922 he was a master student with Walter Conz and Ernst Würtenberger in Karlsruhe. In 1922 he studied again with Orlik, this time at the Prussian Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin. In 1924 Hubbuch began teaching lithography at the Karlsruhe Academy, which in 1928 appointed him full-time professor. From 1925 to 1933 he was a professor in Karlsruhe. At that time he made study trips to France every year. During the 20s and early 30s his work was shown in numerous exhibitions, among them “ Neue Sachlichkeit ” in Mannheim in 1925 and a joint exhibition with Otto Dix and George Grosz at the Neumann-Nierendorf Gallery in Berlin. Together with his artist colleagues Hermann Brand , Erwin Spuler and Anton Weber , he published the critical artist magazine Zakpo in Karlsruhe in 1930 ; two issues appear. In 1933, Hubbuch, like his professor colleague Wilhelm Schnarrenberger, was dismissed from the Karlsruhe Art Academy and reinstated after the war.

Between 1935 and 1945 Hubbuch was accused of degenerate art by the Nazi regime and he was banned from working as an artist. From September to December 1939 he worked in the state majolica factory in Karlsruhe and from 1940 as a clock painter for a year. From 1941 to 1945 he worked again as a ceramic painter in the Karlsruhe Majolika .

After the war, his appointment as professor at the Academy in Karlsruhe, where he worked from 1947 to 1957, was renewed. He began again to exhibit his work (for example in the large collective exhibition in the Badischer Kunstverein in Karlsruhe). He made trips to Holland and Italy. In 1957 he withdrew from his professorship, but continued to take an active part in numerous exhibitions in Europe in the 1960s and 1970s. In 1965 he was guest of honor at the Villa Massimo in Rome.

In 1970 Hubbuch almost went blind and did not produce any further works until his death.

power

Hubbuch can probably best be classified as a representative of verism and the " New Objectivity ". He perfected his neorealist art less politically than colleagues like Grosz and Dix.

A scientific examination of the complete works began only after Hubbuch's death. Probably the largest collection of his work is in the Museum Schloss Gochsheim in Kraichtal near Karlsruhe. In Freiburg im Breisgau, the "Karl Hubbuch Foundation" deals with his life's work.

The Professor-Hubbuch-Straße in Kraichtal is named after him.
