Rudiger Kramer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rüdiger Kramer (born April 13, 1953 in Menden , Sauerland ; † March 23, 2017 ) was a German draftsman , painter and photographer living in Duisburg .

Life

From 1971 to 1977, Kramer studied fine art at the Düsseldorf Art Academy with Joseph Beuys and Rolf Sackenheim : after completing his master class, he worked as a freelance artist. In 1977/78 he had a teaching position at the Art Academy in Düsseldorf, from 1984 to 1988 at the business development agency of the Düsseldorf Chamber of Crafts and from 1988 to 1992 at the FH Dortmund in the design department. In 2006 he taught in the design department at the FH Aachen.

Between 1986 and 2006 he worked with the mentally ill and the mentally handicapped at the LVR Clinic Viersen . During this work numerous works were created in a mutually independent collaboration. Kramer presented his work several times at exhibitions and compared to that of his students. Kramer did not see himself as a psychiatrist or art therapist, but as the leader of the painting group, to whom he “stood alone with professional advice as an artist and mostly only personally”.
