Lore Schill
Lore Uphoff-Schill (* August 18, 1890 in Düsseldorf as Leonore Henriette Schill ; † January 28, 1968 in Worpswede ) was a German painter from the Düsseldorf School and the Worpswede artists' colony .
Life
Lore Schill was born in 1890 as the fourth child of the Düsseldorf art professor Adolf Schill and his wife Emmy Simons (* 1858). The place of birth was the Blumenstrasse in Düsseldorf. On the mother's side, she came from the Simons-Köhler family from Elberfeld (see Friedrich Wilhelm Simons-Köhler ; Walter Simons ; Ludwig Simons ). The architect Walter Kyllmann (Kyllmann and Heyden) was an uncle of Lore. Her great-grandfather was the district administrator of Solingen and art patron Carl Gottlieb Kyllman.
In addition to her father, Lore Uphoff-Schill received painting lessons from Lothar von Kunowski at the Düsseldorf School of Applied Arts . In 1913 she and her husband Fritz Uphoff began to dedicate themselves to figurative representation in the rented studio in Düsseldorf. Above all, she created poetic, miniature-like fairytale pictures. After moving to Worpswede , she turned to landscape painting . She also went to the surrounding villages with her easel and created unique paintings in oil and a special spray technique that depict the moorland in the Worpswede area. The pastel and oil paintings with which she atmospherically depicts courtyards, boggy paths and barns are impressive.
During the economically difficult 1920s, Lore Uphoff participated in the work of the "Worpswede Work Group for Book Art, Engraved Book and Portfolio Works" founded by Fritz and his brother Carl Emil Uphoff . Due to a severe leg problem, she had to give up painting in the landscape in 1940. From this time on she mainly painted and drew still lifes with flowers.
In 1928 the Provincial Museum in Hanover acquired 10 pictures by Worpswede artists, including by Emmy Meyer , Martha Vogeler , Lore Uphoff-Schill and Carl Emil Uphoff. Two drawings by Lore Uphoff are kept in the Sprengel Museum in Hanover.
