Life
Maria Hager was the daughter of the Penzlin pastor Adolf Hager (1838–1923). In 1894 the family moved to Dargun , where the father worked as a preposition . Maria Hager attended the community school as well as a private school. She studied singing in Hamburg and Berlin, but dropped out. She switched to painting and in 1904 became a student of Bracht's student Max Uth . Later she was also taught by Eugen Bracht himself and by Hans Licht and Ernst Kolbe .
As early as 1910 she was able to take part in an exhibition in Hanover and in 1911 in Berlin . Until 1941 she was able to participate regularly in large art exhibitions, including in Munich, Hamburg and Paris . During her travels, port and city pictures emerged, which made her particularly famous. Frequent motifs were also Dargun and her adopted home, Burg Stargard. During various painting courses that her teachers held in the summer months as the “Stargarder Painting School”, she got to know the place where she had a house built in 1921 and lived there for the rest of her life.
As far as is known, Marie Hager's work comprises 320 paintings. These are mostly privately owned and some can be found in museums. Her pictures, which are characterized by colourfulness, sure lines and broad, firm brushwork, which were mostly created outdoors, can be assigned to late impressionism .
Marie Hager bequeathed her property to her niece Wiltrud Kratz, who in 1991 handed over the house and property as well as furniture and pictures to the artist of the city of Burg Stargard. The establishment of a permanent exhibition in the Marie-Hager-Haus was agreed . The Marie-Hager-Kunstverein Burg Stargard is dedicated to the memory of Hager's work and the preservation and preservation of her works of art.
