Remigius Netzer
Remigius Netzer (born March 23, 1916 in Düsseldorf , † May 31, 1985 in Munich ) was a German painter, translator and graphic artist. He was the son of the Munich sculptor Hubert Netzer . Remigius Netzer was a member of the Munich NEW GROUP , founded in 1946 , an association of visual artists from all disciplines. There he held the presidency from 1973 to 1979.
Academic years
Netzer first studied at the Munich School of Applied Arts , where he learned from Walter Teutsch. He then attended the Munich Academy of Fine Arts from 1935 to 1940 . Here, among others, Adolf Schinnerer and Karl Caspar were his most important teachers. The latter probably had the greatest influence on Netzer's work. In addition to his art studies, he took Romance studies, literary studies and philosophy at the Munich University.
plant
While the artist's early pictures tended towards strict linear detailing, such as Bei Nymphenburg (Munich) from 1945, soon afterwards his works showed heavy, broad contours that bordered brightly colored surfaces. Good examples of this are Im Montafon (Bavarian State Painting Collections in Munich) from 1953 or Bei Baratti ( Ludwig Galerie Schloss Oberhausen ) from 1958. In addition to painting, Netzer also worked as a translator. So he transferred seventeen elegies by Francis Jammes , which he published in 1952 as "The sad cowslips". He illustrated the book with woodcuts . In addition, Netzer is known for his colored woodcuts such as pigeons from 1957.
