Paul Horst-Schulze
Paul Horst-Schulze (born October 5, 1876 in Naunhof , † December 27, 1937 in Leipzig ) was a German painter , graphic artist and craftsman . His stage name Horst-Schulze was created by combining his second first name with the original family name.
Life
Paul Horst-Schulze was a son of the Naunhof pastor Moritz Hermann Schulze (1828–1909). At the age of seven, he sustained a serious back injury when he fell from a tree. Since he hid the accident out of fear from his father, his back deformed without medical treatment so that he had a hump all his life . At that time, that was a reason not to begin the pastoral training that the father was aiming for. Instead, he studied from 1891 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Leipzig and from 1894 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich , as well as one year at the Art Academy in Düsseldorf . When he returned to Leipzig at the beginning of the 20th century , he was considered one of the most talented young Leipzig artists.
After drafting home furnishings and patterns for fabrics, his first major assignment was to design the Gnadenkirche in Leipzig- Wahren . For the villa in Liviastraße 8 in the Waldstraßenviertel , built from 1901 to 1904 according to plans by the architect Raymund Brachmann (1872–1953) for the merchant Max Haunstein, he created the interior design of one of the most beautiful Art Nouveau villas in Leipzig.
He designed many illustrations and book decorations for children's and youth publications, especially for the publishing house of Eugen Diederichs (1867–1930). His first paintings were shown at the Saxon art exhibition in Dresden in 1903 and in the House of the Berlin Secession in 1904 and in the collective exhibition of the Leipzig Artists' Association in 1909.
In 1904 Paul Horst-Schulze received a teaching post at what was now the Royal Academy for Graphic Arts and Book Industry in Leipzig, which was converted into a professorship for figurative painting in 1911. This employment enabled him to start a family and he married Wera Wagner in 1907. The couple moved into the newly built and destroyed in World War II fairy tale house on today's Nikischplatz . Both were friends with the painter and sculptor Max Klinger (1857–1920).
In 1907 Horst-Schulze was one of the first members of the Deutscher Werkbund and founded the Saxon section of the Federation together with Raymund Brachmann. He was also a member of the German Association of Artists , the Leipzig Artists Association and the Leipzig Annual Exhibition Association .
