Life

Oskar Bangemann was born in Braunschweig in 1882. From 1896 to 1901 he received training from the wood engraver Probst and then worked as a journeyman in various places in Germany as well as in Zurich and Vienna until 1911. From 1912 he worked as a draftsman and retoucher in the Reichsdruckerei in Berlin. Bangemann returned from the First World War seriously wounded in 1916 . On the recommendation of the painter Max Slevogt , for whom he had previously created wood engravings of drawings and illustrations, he was entrusted with the management of the woodcut class at the Kunstgewerbemuseum Berlin . Bangemann was from 1924 to 1942 a professor at the University of Fine Arts in Berlin . His students include Karl-Heinz Krause , Wilhelm M. Busch and Gerhart Kraaz . Bangemann can still be found in the Berlin address book in 1943; nothing is known about his whereabouts.

Bangemann's work includes cuts based on Slevogt (children's songs, fairy tales), based on Max Liebermann ( self-portrait and illustrations for Goethe's novella ), based on Adolph von Menzel ( Frederick the Great ), based on Lovis Corinth ( self-portrait ), based on Eugène Delacroix ( The Lion Hunt ) and based on Constantin Guys ( Entry of a Roman Senator ). Two portraits of Paul von Hindenburg are among his cuts based on his own templates .
