Robert Budzinski (born April 5, 1874 in Klein-Schläfken in the Neidenburg district ; † February 27, 1955 in Marburg ) was a German painter, graphic artist and author.

Life

Robert Budzinski attended the art academies in Berlin and Königsberg (Prussia) and was technically very versatile. Budzinski joined the migrant bird youth movement during his time in Berlin . Until the Second World War he lived and worked as a freelance artist with his family in Königsberg. As a painter he created both landscape pictures and portraits, as a graphic artist he was actually familiar with all the techniques that occurred and so he created lithographs, woodcuts, etchings (also with drypoint) and woodcuts from his hand. During the time of National Socialism, he published the magazine Geister und Gespenster with the help of his friend, the draftsman Emil Stumpp , who had been banned from working since 1933, which was reproduced with the help of wax matrices . As early as 1925, the two had jointly created art portfolios with drawings of East Prussian castles as well as East Prussian types . His estate is in the Museum of Art and Cultural History Marburg .

He met Erika Stern (1886–1992) with the Wandervögeln, with whom he had lived again and again since the early 1920s. After the joint escape from East Prussia , they lived together in Marburg until Budzinki's death. Erika Stern promoted his art by introducing him to artists in Hesse. She herself is depicted in many of his artistic works. Robert Budzinski built a house for his family in Warburg , Westphalia.
