Paul Heinrich Ferdinand Storm (born January 29, 1880 in Hamburg ; † February 10, 1951 there ) was a German painter .

Life

Paul Storm was born as the son of the painter Heinrich Storm in Hamburg. Together with a partner, he ran the decorative painting company Storm & Röseler at Grindelallee 108 in Hamburg-Rotherbaum and by 1899 at the latest had a house on the way at Jäger 85 in Hamburg-Groß Borstel . Paul Storm attended the high school in front of the Holsten Gate . On October 30, 1902 , he enrolled at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and studied painting with Carl von Marr until 1909 , one of which was a master class student . In the meantime he studied in the summer semester of 1906 at the Art Academy in Dresden with Carl Bantzer , who introduced him to the Willingshausen painters' colony during this time . Storm painted “very fine intimate” landscape paintings there that year .

After completing his studies, Paul Storm worked as a painter in Hamburg from 1909. From 1910 he had a studio at 40 Raboisen Street in Hamburg's old town . The address in the Hamburg address book from 1911 to 1920 is the street Grindelallee 108. In 1911 he was already a member of the art association in Hamburg . In 1911 he also drew the painter Wilhelm Mann (1882–1957), who also drew him. Both drawings were in Ernst Rump's collection , and both artists were included in his artist lexicon , published in 1912. From 1912 Storm had his studio at Grosse Theaterstrasse 28 in Hamburg-Neustadt . He also became a member of the Hamburg Artists' Association in 1912 . From 1914 his studio was on Esplanade 6, from 1916 on Beneckestrasse 22 in Hamburg-Rotherbaum. In the First World War he was a member of the Landsturm .

In addition to his work as a painter, he later taught fashion drawing in Altona for a while . From 1931 he lived and worked in his father's former house in Weg bei Jäger 85 in Hamburg-Groß Borstel. Three unmarried sisters and his partner Charlotte West also lived there. During this time, the house in Groß Borstel was generally referred to as the witch's house . From 1927 to 1930 and from 1935 to 1938 Paul Storm often stayed in the Willingshausen painters' colony during the summer months. In 1939 he suffered a stroke and was from then on paralyzed. After the death of his three sisters, who had previously known how to prevent marriage, he married Charlotte West in 1947, who cared for him from 1939 until the end of his life in 1951. A year earlier, in 1950, he still joined the Hamburg art community .

In 1956, Charlotte's nephew Georg West moved into the house and looked after her until she passed away in 1988. He inherited some of his uncle's works. In 2016, a commemoration event on the 60th anniversary of the death of the Groß Borstel painter Friedrich Schaper prompted him to give four paintings by his uncle to the municipal association of Groß-Borstel rV in memory of his uncle and aunt . These have been hanging in the Stavenhagenhaus in Hamburg-Groß Borstel since 2017 , a self-portrait, a painting with the title Im Gehölz , a painting that was painted inside the house in the path near the hunter and a painting that shows the garden. Paul Storm is also represented with works in the Hessenpark open-air museum .

Paul Storm usually signed his paintings with P. Storm , without a date, drawings, like those in the former Ernst Rump collection, sometimes with Paul Storm and with a time. Some unsigned works, such as sketches and studies, were also ascribed to him on the reverse by his wife Charlotte Storm. His works are partly influenced by Art Nouveau or Impressionism . Among other things , he created bookplates , landscape paintings, portraits, nudes, genre paintings , interiors and still lifes . In addition to the paintings from the Willingshausen painters' colony, Munich and Hamburg, there were also paintings in Schleswig-Holstein and Sylt .
