Richard Stumm (* 1900 in Worms ; † 1971 there ) was a German painter and graphic artist .

Life

After the First World War , in which he still had to participate, Stumm studied first in Frankfurt am Main , then at the University of Munich history and art history , where he attended lectures in particular with Heinrich Wölfflin . His artistic training is mainly due to the fact that the academy professor Karl Caspar , who became famous for his visionary expressionism , accepted him as a master student in his studio. Since 1920 he was a member of the Catholic student union KDStV Rheno-Franconia Munich. However, Stumm's life's work itself is closest to the New Objectivity style .

Richard Stumm's oeuvre is characterized by an unusual variety of artistic fields and techniques. He not only stood out for his pen drawings and watercolors, but also worked as a painter , sculptor and graphic artist . As a restorer , he was involved in the restoration of the Worms Church of Our Lady , the Worms Cathedral and the baroque hall church in Mettenheim.

For 50 years, Mute has also become a chronicler of his hometown Worms , whose views he presented in a large number of his works. The Richard-mute street in Worms is named after him.

In a portrait from 1949 Richard Stumm said the following about his work:

“I take everything as a painter. Philosophy, literature - I could never and never want to miss any of these. But above all, painting stands for me as an image of real life, which I fully and absolutely affirm. Connection to life - that is always the principle of my work. "

In May 2019, the exhibition Richard Stumm - Augenmensch und Augenzeuge was opened in Worms , in which, in addition to loans from the Worms city archive, pictures, drawings and graphics from private collections were also on view for the first time.

Richard Stumm is the father of the Marburg artist Richard Stumm and the grandfather of the actor Fabian Stumm .
