Lilo Rasch-Naegele

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lilo Rasch Naegele , born Liselotte Margaret Naegele , (* 12. December 1914 in Stuttgart , † 3. June 1978 in Oberaichen ) was a German painter and graphic designer and commercial artist , fashion designer and book illustrator . Her extensive artistic work has left its mark on the Stuttgart art landscape.

Life

Lilo Rasch-Naegele was the daughter of Karl Alfons Naegele, a Stuttgart painter with a studio on Marienstraße. After her father, whom she admired, had died in 1927, Lilo Rasch-Naegele was already making advertising labels for the window dressing of neighboring shops at the age of twelve.

From 1922 to 1930 Lilo Rasch-Naegele attended the Catholic Higher School for Daughters in Stuttgart. She then took drawing lessons at the municipal trade school in Hoppenlau, Stuttgart, which she continued at the Württemberg State School of Applied Arts in Stuttgart after completing a traineeship in drawing at the Carl Markiewicz advertising company in Stuttgart. From 1931 to 1933 she was a regular student in the graphics department, where she was decisively influenced by her teacher Ernst Schneidler , the founder of the so-called Stuttgart School in the field of graphic design.

Lilo Rasch-Naegele had his own drawing studio in Stuttgart's Reinsburgstrasse and became a sought-after commercial artist, fashion illustrator and book illustrator for well-known companies in the textile and publishing industry such as Gröber-Neufra and Deutsche Verlagsgesellschaft Stuttgart.

In 1934 Lilo Naegele was commissioned to design the shop windows for the salon of the Stuttgart star hairdresser Hugo Benner in the Wilhelmsbau in Stuttgart . In doing so, she became acquainted with the artistic circle of Stuttgart intellectuals around the architect Bodo Rasch, who set up the salon. Other companions during this time were the Hölzel students Willi Baumeister , who designed the stationery for Benner, and Lily Hildebrandt , née. Uhlmann and her husband, the art historian Hans Hildebrandt .

From 1938 to 1939 Lilo Rasch-Naegele worked in Berlin for the magazines Die Dame und die neue linie as well as for the Tobis film company.

In 1940 she married Bodo Rasch; the daughter Aiga Rasch (1941–2009) and the son Mahmud Bodo Rasch (1943) emerged from the marriage.

Immediately after the end of the war, Lilo Rasch-Naegele continued her drawing successes from the pre-war period in her studio in Reinsburgstrasse by working for numerous well-known brands such as ARAL, Schiesser and Elbeo, for the Stern advertising department and for various publishers (especially Boje, Kurt Desch, Wilhelm Goldmann, Albert Müller, Carl Überreuther and Ullstein-Propylaen) and worked for the Stuttgarter Zeitung .

As one of the few women in art , Lilo Rasch-Naegele belonged to the artists' club “Bubenbad”, whose focus was Willi Baumeister . The men's bar in Stuttgart was the meeting point for the art historians Herbert Herrmann and Hans Hildebrandt , the art writer Kurt Leonhard , the philosopher Max Bense , the publishers Albrecht Knaus and Gerd Hatje , the painters Alfred Eichhorn, Cuno Fischer and Peter Jakob Schober , the photographer Adolf Lazi , the Product designers Wilhelm Wagenfeld and Hans Warnecke as well as for the psychiatrist and art collector Ottomar Domnick .

From 1950 Lilo Rasch-Naegele found a new center of life in the modern villa building designed by Bodo Rasch for his family in the Oberaichener Wispelwald, west of Stuttgart. Here she turned to free, non-commercial painting with great energy for the first time and created a considerable number of oil paintings and a large bundle of experimental graphic works until her unexpectedly early death in 1978. Her extensive and complex work has been scientifically processed since 2012 as part of an estate administration.

plant

In her “art factory”, as Lilo Rasch-Naegele described her home and studio in the Wispelwald, a new, experimental creative phase began for her, primarily with oil paints. Between the glaze technique and the impasto application, she stylistically tested all possibilities, using a sponge, spatula and stencil. Their stylistic device was the "Effaçure", a separate word creation that is derived from the French effacer (= to blur). The non-commercial graphic work of Lilo Rasch-Naegele is as extensive as it is stylistically complex.

The abstract works are determined by the Bauhaus School Oskar Schlemmer and Paul Klees as well as by Willi Baumeister's lyrical abstraction. The figurative works are influenced by the expressive realism of Pablo Picasso and the constructive realism of Fernand Léger , in some cases they are close to the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism ( Ernst Fuchs ).

A recurring theme is the woman in her ambivalent role as a seductive Eva and a protective mother. From the mid-1960s, he created subjects with which Lilo Rasch-Naegele made herself the chronicler of her time. Her late work contains numerous inspirations from the Arab culture.

Collections

Numerous works by Lilo Rasch-Naegele are in company ownership (including Bally, Hoechst and Schiesser ), in public collections ( Kunstmuseum Stuttgart , City of Leinfelden) and in numerous regional and international private collections.
