Life

Paul Jünemann was the son of the gardener Carl Jünemann (1865–1925), who in 1907 wrote and edited the volume of poems Zerbster Humor .

After attending the Dessau School of Applied Arts and Magdeburg School of Applied Arts , Paul Jünemann studied at the Weimar Art School from 1912 to 1917 . Here he was a master student of Robert Weise . After graduating, he worked briefly as a freelance illustrator in Munich. A course followed in April 1919 - summer semester: Nature school - at the newly founded Bauhaus in Weimar .

In 1919 he returned to his native town of Zerbst as a freelance painter. His pictures were represented at the annual exhibitions of the “Anhaltischer Kunstverein” in Dessau and at the “ Great Berlin Art Exhibition ” in 1921 and 1925 .

When the city center of Zerbst was destroyed on April 16, 1945, his studio and a large part of his work were also destroyed.

In addition to the portraits of Kurt Demmel and attempts to Eike von Repgow to Picasso, his still lifes and the numerous landscape paintings as well as the pictures of his hometown are of importance. He was always a seeker for form and representation, as is evident from his exercises in abstract painting.
