Paul's legacy

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Erbe (born May 21, 1894 in Munich , † February 29, 1972 in Haimhausen ) was a German painter . He was significantly influenced by the German impressionists and the painters of the Scholle , in particular by Leo Putz . Many of his paintings were created in and around Haimhausen and Dachau with its moorland. He was not only a landscape painter , still lifes , pictures of animals (especially ducks) and pieces of flowers were part of his subject.

Live and act

The son of the Munich insurance officer Ferdinand Erbe and his second wife Maria, b. Schäfer, attended the Maximiliansgymnasium in Munich's Ludwigstrasse from 1904 to 1907 and then transferred to the Alte Realgymnasium . Here he graduated from high school in 1913. In the First World War he volunteered for military service and also took part in the Second World War. His talent for drawing was already evident in his childhood and youth. But Paul Erbe did not want to devote himself to painting professionally. That is why he studied art history and philosophy in Munich , but soon turned to painting as an autodidact . Presumably Paul Eduard Crodel persuaded him to do so. As early as 1921 he exhibited a painting apples and turnips in the Munich Glass Palace and his work was demonstrably represented in exhibitions until at least 1968. In 1952 he was - u. a. with Friedrich Wilhelm Kalb , Fritz Schwimbeck and Claus Bergen - on the board of the Munich artists' cooperative ; In 1968 he was a member of the jury for their autumn exhibition.

He chose Haimhausen, where a small artists' colony had developed, to be his home in 1922, attracted by the Amper landscape . When Paul Erbe failed his right hand in old age, he continued to paint with his left hand.

In Haimhausen, Paul-Erbe-Strasse commemorates the painter who was buried in the Haimhausen cemetery.

Artistic work

He loved the broad-brush painting presentation and the use of the brush trace as a creative tool.
