education
Paul Müller-Kaempff was the sixth child of the Grand Ducal Oldenburg military doctor Dode Emken Müller (1822-1896) and Marie Christine Wilhelmine Müller, nee. Kaempff. Until 1882 he attended the old grammar school Oldenburg in Oldenburg. He received his training as a student at the Düsseldorf Art Academy , from 1883–1886 at the Karlsruhe Academy with Gustav Schönleber (1851–1917) and at the Berlin Academy from 1886–1888 in the master's atelier with Hans Fredrik Gude (1825–1903). At this time, Georg Müller vom Siel (1865–1939) was also in Berlin. In 1886 he was also a student of Hans Fredrik Gude. Here he exhibited his first pictures and made several study trips to the Black Forest , the North Sea coast and Northern Italy .
Live and act
The name Paul Müller-Kaempff stands primarily for the creation of the Ahrenshoop artists' colony on the Darß. During a stay in Fischland with his friend Oskar Frenzel (1855–1915) in 1889, they discovered the remote fishing village and met the Mecklenburg painter Carl Malchin (1838–1923) there. He built his own boarding house and studio there in 1892 and began the St. Lucas painting school in 1894 . Artist colleagues followed his example, and Ahrenshoop also became the home of Anna Gerresheim (1852–1921), Elisabeth von Eicken (1862–1940), Friedrich Wachenhusen (1859–1925), Fritz Grebe (1850–1924), Heinrich Schlotermann (1859– 1922), Theobald Schorn (1866–1913) and Hugo Richter-Lefensdorf (1854–1904). Together with Theobald Schorn, he was significantly involved in the construction of the Ahrenshooper Kunstkatens in 1909. During this time, he was always in touch with his home in Oldenburg.
In 1904 Müller-Kaempff and his future wife (1905) and former student Else Schwager co - founded the Oldenburger Kunstverein . Together with the Oldenburg sculptor Kurt Boschen, he won first prize in the poster competition of the state industrial and commercial exhibition in Oldenburg in 1905 and was appointed to the jury for the Northwest German art exhibition that was integrated into this , where he was also represented with two pictures. In the same year he received the Oldenburg State Medal and in 1907 co-founded the Association of Northwest German Artists. In 1906 he was appointed professor and from 1906 to 1912 he was also a member of the Oldenburg State Art Purchase Commission. He also lived in Hamburg from 1908 and was a member of the Hamburg Artists' Association from 1832 . From here he followed the footsteps of numerous colleagues to Gothmund in 1918 , as his dated drawings show.
Müller-Kaempff was very successful as a landscape painter and at the end of the 19th century was one of the most progressive and well-known landscape painters of his time. In addition to paintings , watercolors , pastels and drawings, he has also handed down designs for furniture and a large number of postcards have become known. He also made lithographs for home portfolios and illustrated books (including Naumann : "Natural history of the birds of Central Europe", 1905). During his lifetime, pictures were not only bought by museums in Rostock, Oldenburg iO, Kiel and Hamburg, many private collectors also bought his pictures. Prince Eitel Friedrich , the second son of Kaiser Wilhelm II , acquired several works for the imperial court in 1908. However, the whereabouts of most of the paintings is unknown. Many pictures are in private collections and some are scattered all over the world. During his lifetime he was able to sell pictures as far as Argentina and China. For the Oldenburg-Portugiesische Dampfschiffs-Rhederei, Müller-Kaempff painted pictures of the Canary Islands as wall decorations for the ships' passenger areas.
After studying together with Hans Fredrik Gude in Berlin, the contact with Georg Müller vom Siel did not break off later. In May / June 1908 Paul Müller-Kaempff visited Georg Müller vom Siel in the artists' colony Dötlingen . Müller-Kaempff created a number of landscape paintings in Dötlingen . There were also the motifs preferred by other Dötlinger artists: the Hunte , the heather and the houses typical of this landscape. On July 6, 1908, Müller-Kaempff dedicated a portfolio with Oldenburg landscapes to Grand Duke Peter II of Oldenburg .
Müller-Kaempff was buried in a part of the Wilmersdorfer Waldfriedhof Stahnsdorf that is now overgrown . In September 2017, the urns of Paul and Else Müller-Kaempff were reburied in the Schifferfriedhof in Ahrenshoop and the associated gravestone was repositioned there.
