Max Zachmann
Ernst Ludwig Max Zachmann (born August 28, 1892 in Heidelberg , † December 18, 1917 in Hollebeke , Flanders ) was a German expressionist painter .
Zachmann studied painting from 1910 to 1912 at the Grand Ducal Arts and Crafts School in Karlsruhe and from 1912 to 1914 at the Arts and Crafts School in Esslingen am Neckar .
Zachmann was first under the influence of Ferdinand Hodler , from 1912 onwards he turned to Expressionism.
After the outbreak of the First World War he was called to military service and fell as an aviator lieutenant on the Western Front in Flanders.
His artistic estate came into the collections of the Mannheim Kunsthalle .
During the Third Reich , the work of Zachmann was assigned to " degenerate art ". In 1937 31 graphics (drawings, woodcuts, watercolors and lithographs) were confiscated from the collections of the Kunsthalle Mannheim. The works in his family's possession were kept in hiding and thus saved.
In 2005, an exhibition of Zachmann's works took place at the Heidelberger Kunstverein .
