from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lüder Baier (born May 3, 1920 in Dresden ; † July 28, 2012 there ) was a German turner , wood designer and wood sculptor .

Life

Lüder Baier was born in 1920 as the son of the goldsmith and engraver Hermann Baier. From 1934 he completed an apprenticeship at “Funke & Martin” in Dresden- Mickten and in 1938 passed the journeyman's examination as a model maker . Baier was an avid mountaineer and went into World War II as a mountain hunter .

After military service and war deployment, he built up his woodturning workshop in Dresden. From 1947 to 1952 he studied wood design at the Dresden University of Applied Arts (since 1950 Dresden University of Fine Arts ), he graduated as a qualified wood designer. He is considered a master student of Theodor Artur Winde (1886–1965).

After 1952 he worked as a freelance artist. He was a member of the Association of Visual Artists , was a member of the advisory board for design and handicrafts at the Ministry of Culture of the GDR and was a member of the jury at the Grassimesse . In 1964 he moved to Dresden- Klotzsche .

In 1956 Baier spent a study visit to Sweden and in 1957 received a diploma from the Triennale in Milan . He was often involved in the major art exhibitions of the GDR in Dresden, for example in the fourth German art exhibition in 1958.

Baier has been designing wall surfaces since the 1960s. Between 1968 and 1980 he was involved in more than 20 interior designs for public buildings, for example in representative rooms in Berlin ministries and large hotels, in the Berliner Ensemble and in Dresden and the surrounding area. Much of this work was destroyed after 1989. The nine-meter-long wall relief created in 1969 in the Dresden Kulturpalast was stored for a long time and can now be seen in the stairwell of the renovated Kulturpalast. The 18-meter-long wall frieze from 1975 in the Deutsche Werkstätten Hellerau has been preserved .

Special exhibitions "Lüder Baier - Wood Design" took place in 1968 in the Leipzig Grassimuseum , in 1970 in Dresden and in 1980 on his 60th birthday in the Dresden Museum for Arts and Crafts at Pillnitz Castle . In the same year he received an invitation to the wood designer symposium in Bermsgrün in the Ore Mountains , where large steles were created for the first time .

Around 1995 Lüder Baier transferred essential parts of his life's work to the Deutsche Werkstätten Hellerau . Around 40 works by Baier are now in the possession of the Dresden State Art Collections .
