Richard Huber (painter)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Richard Huber (born April 3, 1902 in Dachau ; † August 19, 1982 ibid) was a German painter .

Life and artistic work

Richard Huber was the son of the master painter Albin Huber and was a painting boy with Adolf Hölzel . His father recognized his artistic talent. In addition to helping in the family business, Richard Huber studied at the School of Applied Arts and the Academy of Fine Arts (with Franz Klemmer and Carl Johann Becker-Gundahl ) in Munich.

Richard Huber grew into the tradition of open-air painting that was prevalent at the time and left an extensive body of work with many landscapes, portraits, animal pictures and woodcuts. He put the focus on the representation of the Dachau landscape. A large number of these still exist in oil paintings. He mostly sketched outdoors and created the paintings in the studio.

Huber cultivated an impressionistic painting style with the characteristic interplay of light and color and was considered the last Dachau painter of the old school.

He was married to Maria Baumüller since 1929. The marriage had eight children. From 1958 to 1963 he was the first chairman of the Dachau Artists' Association .

Today a street in Dachau commemorates him.
