Otto Quante

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Otto Quante (born April 2, 1875 in Minden , † February 20, 1947 in Naumburg an der Saale ) was a German doctor, painter and etcher .

Live and act

Quante was the son of the landowner Otto Quante from Gut Rodenbeck near Minden. He first attended the community school and by the summer of 1893 the grammar school in Minden. He then studied medicine at the Universities of Göttingen, Würzburg, Berlin and Kiel. During his studies in 1894 he became a member of the Asciburgia Würzburg gymnastics club . In the winter semester of 1895/96 he completed the “ Tentamen physicum ” in Berlin , and he passed the two state exams at the Royal Christian Albrechts University in Kiel. He finished his studies there on June 3, 1899 with an elaboration on "spinal cord tumors". After completing his studies, he became an ophthalmologist , but gave up his practice in 1907. From 1906 he devoted himself to painting in Munich, studying as a pupil of Fritz Mackensen at the painting school in Worpswede ; at the Badische Landeskunstschule Karlsruhe and at the Munich Art Academy. He learned the art of etching autodidactically around 1913 and was best known for drypoint etchings with motifs from tramp circles. Quantes apartment and studio in Munich were destroyed, so that a large part of his work was destroyed. He moved homeless to Naumburg in the apartment of his friend Paul Heinrich Sattelmacher , who was then president of the higher regional court there. Quantes body was transferred to Minden in 1949.
