Robert von Haug

Grave site in the Stuttgart forest cemetery

Robert von Haug (born May 27, 1857 in Stuttgart , † April 3, 1922 ibid) was a German impressionist painter, illustrator , lithographer , university professor and director. Because of his preferred motifs, he was labeled a "battle painter".

Life

Haug studied from 1872 to 1877 at the Stuttgart Art School and from 1877 to 1879 at the Munich Art Academy ; among his teachers were Carl von Häberlin , Bernhard von Neher and Otto Seitz . He maintained intensive contact in Munich with Karl Stauffer and Ludwig Herterich . In 1879 he settled in Stuttgart again. From 1894 to 1922 he taught in the successor to Claudius Schraudolph the Elder. J. as professor at the Stuttgart Art School (from 1901 academy); from 1902 to 1912 he was also its director. One of his pupils was Carl Geist .

Around 1912 a dispute began between the avant-gardists around Adolf Hölzel and the traditionalists, on whose side Haug stood. After Hölzel, who was director from 1916 to 1918, resigned from his post as professor in 1919 and Paul Klee's appointment failed, the Stuttgart Academy sank back into regional importance.

Haug's grave is located in the forest cemetery in Stuttgart .

Works

Haug took part in numerous exhibitions from 1883, e. B. in the Munich Glass Palace , at the Munich Secession and the Great Berlin Art Exhibition, but initially mainly created book illustrations. In 1889 the Stuttgart picture gallery bought his picture Die Preußen vor Möckern ; later numerous other works by Haug came into public possession.

His best known lithographs include Morgenrot (1904), Rechberg (1906) and Das Duell (1906). His frescoes in the Stuttgart city hall and in the art building were somewhat controversial . His painting Farewell from 1889 came to the Neue Pinakothek in Munich, Volunteer Hunters from 1891 to the Alte Nationalgalerie in Berlin. Further works passed into the possession of the Museum of Fine Arts in Leipzig , the New Masters Gallery in Dresden , the Wallraf-Richartz Museum in Cologne , the Kunsthalle Bremen and the Museum Breslau .
