Life

Lothar Schall was born as the eldest son of a flower gardener near the city of Stuttgart in June 1924. The artistic and musical talent showed up early on. After graduating from school in 1939, at the request of his father, he did an apprenticeship as a technical draftsman at Mahle GmbH in Bad Cannstatt. After 18 months he moved to Gustav Dreher's Graphic Art Institute in Stuttgart and completed an apprenticeship as a chemographer. In March 1942 he was called up for military service. At the end of 1943 he was wounded in Ukraine and could only be cared for after a long walk. As a result of the wound, Lothar Schall went blind and spent a long time in a hospital on the death station. In April 1944 he returned to Stuttgart, released as an invalid.

He enrolled at the Free Art School in Stuttgart for two years. Since 1945, Schall devoted himself to painting. He painted with Gustav Schopf in 1947 . In 1948 he painted his first oil paintings. Inspired by the German Garden Show in 1950 , which took place in Stuttgart, he painted numerous flower motifs. From 1950, Schall produced his first artist's paints himself and set up his own production and sales department in Hohenacker (Waiblingen) . In 1957, Schall-Farben already had a market share of 35%.

In 1956 he was awarded the Art Prize of the Youth of the State of Baden-Württemberg. In 1958 he made his first oil spatula pictures and exhibited at home and abroad. In the 1960s, Schall turned to watercolor painting. In 1961 the Schall family moved to a farm at Remseck Castle near Neckarrems . The couple Anton Franz zu Knyphausen (1906–1997) and Brita zu Knyphausen (1914–1996) supported the painter in the following years. In 1968, Schall achieved his artistic breakthrough. He gave up paint production and from then on devoted himself entirely to his art. In 1973 he built his own studio in Gächingen (St. Johann, in the Reutlingen district ). In the early 1980s, Schall started developing and manufacturing glass sculptures. In 1992, Schall exhibited in the collective exhibition of the artists St. Johann eV in Würtingen . Some of his works are permanently on the ground floor of the Reutlingen district clinics as foundations . Schall taught at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart .
