Mathilde Fabricius

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mathilde Fabricius (born August 4, 1879 in Magdeburg ; † May 26, 1946 there ) was a German painter.

Life

Mathilde Fabricius came from a middle-class family. Her parents let her and her four sisters learn a trade, which was rather unusual at the time. She received her first private drawing lessons in Magdeburg from Käthe Fleck. Mathilde Fabricius later went to Munich and took lessons first with Walter Thor in his private painting and drawing school, then with Richard Kaiser , who came from Magdeburg . After she returned to Magdeburg, she worked as a freelance artist and regularly took part in regional exhibitions. She was financially secured by her sisters. There was a connection to the late Expressionist Magdeburg artists' association Die Kugel . Although she took part in their exhibition in 1919, no membership in the association can be proven. Many of their works were destroyed in World War II. Fabricius had an artist friendship with the Magdeburg painter Curt Wittenbecher . From 1934 to 1941, the Magdeburg artist Lieselotte Klose was her only regular student. It was not until the late 1930s that Fabricius gave courses in open-air painting as part of the adult education center. At least at the end of the 1930s she lived in the house belonging to the Fabricius siblings at Richard-Wagner-Straße 7 in Magdeburg's Alte Neustadt district .
