Life

Norbert Friedrich Bernhard Richter, who later chose the stage name "Richter-Scrobinhusen" because he worked as an art teacher at the grammar school Schrobenhausen and was able to achieve his most significant artistic successes from 1960 until his untimely death in 1975, was in the Upper Palatinate as Son of the elementary school teacher Josef Richter and his wife Luise, b. Bäumler, born. As a child he discovered his passion for drawing and painting. After graduating from high school in 1949, the future path of life was therefore mapped out: 1950 began studying at the Munich Art Academy, a. a. with Professors Anton Marxmüller and Josef Oberberger. Four years later - in 1954 - Richter passed his artistic examination and then devoted himself intensively to the art of etching. Professionally, the young artist completed several school stations, including a. at the Wittelsbacher Gymnasium in Munich and at the Humanistic Gymnasium of the Ettal Abbey . On September 1, 1959, Richter finally came to the Schrobenhausen grammar school, a town that had become known through artists such as Franz Lenbach or Joseph Sattler , but also the animal painter Johann Baptist Hofner . From this point on, Richter not only took on his artist name, but many galleries and museums showed "Richter-Scropinhusen" works, which, in their diversity such as clarity, but also relentlessness - for those in the know - symbolized the disease that had dominated Richter's life since childhood: For example, the crow falling dead from the sky, which later became a symbol of the artist's work.
