Life

Klein von Diepold was the son of the Düsseldorf painter Friedrich Emil Klein and his wife, the poet Friederika Wilhelmina Ada von Diepold, as well as the brother of the painters Julian and Maximilian (Max) Klein von Diepold and the art writer Rudolf Klein-Diepold . He grew up in Düsseldorf since 1873, where he received his first painting lessons from his father. From 1881 to 1886 he studied painting at the Düsseldorf Art Academy . There Adolf Schill , Hugo Crola and Peter Janssen the Elder were his teachers. From 1889 to 1894 he studied at the Antwerp Academy . There he became a student of Juliaan De Vriendt (1842-1935) and Cornelis van Leemputten (1841-1902). After stays in Paris and Noordwijk (1907–1921), where he met Max Liebermann , he lived in Berlin .

On September 30, 1897, he married Emilie Anna Marie Voet from Arnhem in Utrecht . His second marriage was from November 6, 1906 in Noordwijk to Hermina Elisabeth "Ilse" Tappenbeck, the daughter of Heinrich Tappenbeck (1834–1904), the builder of the local Grandhotels Huis ter Duin , who in 1908 gave birth to their son Hans Joachim Frederick. This marriage ended in divorce in 1918. The painter Ludolph Berkemeier , whom he portrayed several times, was one of his close friends during the Noordwijk period .

From 1901 Klein von Diepold had relationships with the Berlin Secession and sent its exhibitions. He also exhibited in Paul Cassirer's gallery . From Berlin he made regular trips to longer stays on the island of Hiddensee (in the district of Kloster), where his girlfriend Käthe Kollwitz visited him.

Klein von Diepold cultivated a naturalistic conception of art, which he realized in an impressionistic way of painting and impasto application of paint.

For Paul Cassirer's publishing house in 1914 he translated Vincent van Gogh's letters to his brother Theo, compiled by Johanna van Gogh-Bonger . On February 11, 1935, Klein von Diepold was one of the few “Aryan” participants at the funeral of his friend Max Liebermann.
