Paul Klimsch

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Paul Klimsch (born June 15, 1868 in Frankfurt am Main , † June 4, 1917 in Frankfurt-Niederursel ) was a painter and illustrator of German impressionism .

Life

Paul Klimsch came from the Frankfurt industrial family who founded the mechanical engineering company Klimsch & Co and originally came from Česká Lípa (German Bohemian Leipa). His parents were the artist Eugen Johann Georg Klimsch and Anna Helena Burkhard. His father led the painting class as a professor at the Städelschule , his younger brother Fritz became a sculptor, his brother Karl Maler , who was a year older . Paul Klimsch married Charlotte Klimsch (née Zickwolff, born July 26, 1867 in Frankfurt am Main; † November 2, 1932 there).

In 1886 he moved to Karlsruhe to study, where he studied with Ernst Schurth and Hermann Baisch at the State Academy of Fine Arts . From 1899 he lived with Albert Haueisen and Carl Hoff . He finished his studies in 1891 and moved to Munich a year later, where he studied with René Reinicke until 1900 .

Paul Klimsch lived on Holbeinstrasse in Frankfurt and moved to the Wiesenau villa colony in Frankfurt-Niederursel on April 1, 1911 , a village that was at that time a rural place at the gates of the city at the foot of the Taunus.

Klimsch often stayed in Berlin, his circle of friends included Max Liebermann and Heinrich Zille , the latter he motivated to become artistically active after his dismissal. Together with Max Slevogt he painted in the Frankfurt Zoo , and in 1901 he captured his colleagues in the painting The Parrot Keeper. This painting motivated Max Liebermann to also paint a parrot man. The zoo responded to artistic interest by setting up ateliers for Bruno Schäfer , Carl Wagner , Gertrud Winter and Paul Klimsch in the farm yard.

With the exception of excursions to the region, Klimsch made almost no painting trips, with the exception of Lake Constance, where the family of Paul von Gans owned the Gottlieben Castle on the Swiss side ; It is not known whether those four Klimsch paintings that von Gans owned also showed landscapes of Lake Constance.

Heinrich Hoffmann mentioned Paul Klimsch in the literature as a "tailor" (with paper scissors).

His early membership in the German Association of Artists is documented in the membership directory in 1906. Klimsch took part in numerous exhibitions of the Berlin Secession , for example in 1909, 1911 and 1912, and in exhibitions of the Frankfurt-Cronberger-Künstler-Bund . This union was the Frankfurt counterpart to the Secession. Paul Klimsch exhibited together with Ottilie Roederstein and Rudolf Gudden . In Berlin, the Schulte art salon showed works by the Frankfurt-Cronberger-Künstler-Bund, including Paul Klimsch. The exhibition did not meet with benevolent criticism.

He was also represented in the exhibition at the Glaspalast in Munich as well as in Dresden, Düsseldorf and 1904–05 at the Nassauischer Kunstverein Wiesbaden. In 1922, the Art Institute of Chicago posthumously showed works by Paul Klimsch in the exhibition The Second International Exhibition of Water Colors , alongside those of other members of the Berlin Secession such as Lovis Corinth and Ernst Oppler .

Paul Klimsch died at the age of 49 and was buried in Frankfurt's main cemetery.
