life and work

Lude Döring: Christ scene, wall painting in the Mauritius church Güglingen (1975)

Adam Lude Döring was born in Dresden in 1925. After an apprenticeship at the Reichspost , he was drafted into military service in 1942. After the war he moved to the West, where after a short time he made contact with anthroposophy as an assistant carpenter and titanium white manufacturer at IG Farben in Cologne . In 1950 he began training as a factory teacher at the Waldorf Academy in Stuttgart . Disappointed by the implementation of Steiner's ideas there, he then studied six semesters at the free art school Albrecht Leo Merz . In the following years until about 1964 he worked as a freelance graphic artist and began to paint and draw self-taught. From 1967 he studied philosophy with Max Bense in Stuttgart as a guest student for four semesters .

Lude Döring moved into his first studio in 1958 in the former town hall in Alt- Sillenbuch near Stuttgart. In 1962 he moved with his wife Gretel (née von Pannwitz ) and their daughter into a farmhouse in Gutenberg on the Swabian Alb. There he intensified his artistic work and made first formative collector contacts with the entrepreneurs Eugen Eisenmann and Kurt Deschler, who allowed him to focus entirely on painting. After his first solo exhibition in Karlsruhe in 1968, a collaboration with the artists Axel Arndt and Moritz Baumgartl began . The following year was his first participation in the annual exhibition of the German Association of Artists. Numerous national and international exhibitions followed in the following decades. Since 1970 he has been a member of the Artists Association of Baden-Württemberg and since 1972 of the German Association of Artists. Lude Döring was appointed professor in 1989 by the Prime Minister of Baden Württemberg, Lothar Späth .

The main theme of his work are people. Hands, heads, sports scenes and depictions of everyday life shape his work. From the very beginning he worked figuratively, opposing the prevailing zeitgeist, which in the 1960s only viewed abstract works as art and figurative things as "old-fashioned and outdated". He remained true to this approach, but with his 100-field pictures he also developed graphic pages within his figurative work. His works are now represented in the Museum Gunzenhauser , Chemnitz , Museum Würth and the Städtische Galerie Bietigheim collections, among others .

In the public space, Lude Döring designed, among other things, the interior of the Mauritius Church in Güglingen (1975) as well as wall paintings in the Teckcenter Kirchheim unter Teck (1977) and the Esslingen -Zell industrial school (1978). He also created wall paintings in the administrative buildings of Allianz in Stuttgart (1982) and the Lidl group in Neckarsulm (1993).
