Max Olderock
Ludwig Bernhard Max Olderock (born October 28, 1895 in Hamburg ; † December 13, 1972 there ) was an avant-garde representative of German Expressionism .
After completing his craft training as a painter, he served as a soldier in the First World War from 1914 to 1918 in the Hamburg 76 Reserve Infantry Regiment at the front in Flanders. In October 1919 he was involved in the interior design of Eugen Wittorf's "Hansa workshops" in Hamburg, as did Max Billert. In 1920 he carried out the woodcuts, printing and coloring for Lothar Schreyer's 'Crucifixion' with Billert.
He first exhibited his own works in 1925 and 1927 in Herwarth Walden's Sturmgalerie in Berlin. There, in the 1920s, artists such as Robert Delaunay , Marc Chagall and Alexander Archipenko brought their works to the German public. Olderock was a member of the Deutscher Werkbund and was in contact with the Bauhaus master Lothar Schreyer . During the Third Reich , Max Olderock was banned from painting and his works in public collections were destroyed. After 1945 he took part in numerous exhibitions including a solo exhibition in the Hamburger Kunsthalle in 1957, the Sturm Memorial Exhibition in Berlin in 1961 and in the Cologne exhibition in 1971 "German Avant-garde 1915–1935 - Constructivists".
