Rudi Tröger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rudi Tröger (born October 12, 1929 in Marktleuthen ) is a German painter and university professor. From 1967 to 1992 he was professor for painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich.

Life

From 1946 on, Tröger received painting and drawing lessons from the painter Wilhelm Beindorf in his home town of Marktleuthen . During these early years of study he received his first artistic training. Tröger remembers: “For me sixteen-year-olds this time was a gift, it was stimulating and important.” “Beindorf lived a secluded life, a quiet, friendly, well-educated man who loved his work. During the day he worked in the studio and at night wrote on his books, ”said Tröger about his early teacher.

In 1949 Tröger moved to Munich and studied there until 1957 at the Academy of Fine Arts with Hans Gött and Erich Glette . Since these years he has been working as a freelance painter. In 1967 he was appointed professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich and taught here for a total of 25 years until 1992. His students included Peter Casagrande , Wolfgang Eberlein, Cornelia Eichacker, Paul Havermann, Martin Gensbaur , Christoph Kern, Gerhard Merz , German Stegmaier, Horst Thürheimer and Richard Vogl . In 1977 Tröger was elected a full member of the Bavarian Academy of Fine Arts .

It was only relatively late that he went public with his own works: in 1977 he presented his own pictures and drawings from 1963 to 1976 in a first exhibition. Hermann Kern, who later became director of the Haus der Kunst in Munich, organized the show at Art space Munich . Since the 1980s Tröger has been represented by the Munich gallery Fred Jahn. In the 1990s and 2000s, there followed numerous Germany-wide and international exhibitions, including in Munich, Berlin, Zurich, St. Petersburg and New York. Since 2006 ten large garden pictures by the artist have adorned the Hubertussaal in Nymphenburg Palace in Munich.

Tröger has lived and worked in Westerholzhausen , a district of Markt Indersdorf , in the Dachauer Land north-west of Munich , since the 1970s .

Artistic work

“It is the subjects of landscape, portrait and still life that Rudi Tröger has made as his task since the early 1960s. Classical themes that determine its work to date, "the sums art historian Michael Semff the oeuvre Trögers together. In addition, the artist is known for his group of works of bathing pictures. The transitions between the individual genres are fluid. Still lifes are depicted in his works partly in front of landscapes, garden pictures show an open transition to wide landscapes. His painting is described as both representational and expressive, both realistic and abstract. In this respect, Tröger is difficult to assign to a particular art direction. The art historian Bärbel Schäfer describes Tröger as a border crosser between the worlds: his art conjures up poetry and melancholy, depicts beauty and broken illusions, expresses not only harmony but also the lonely and lost human beings, their exposure to the world.

Tröger favors the withdrawn work as an artist and intensive examination of the painting process and shies away from the big stage of the art business. For Tröger, the process of creating his works is fundamentally more important than the result. A relatively complete picture can be driven again by the smallest changes; it has to be driven until it moves on its own, so Tröger. Pictorial themes such as still lifes, landscapes and bathing figures by the French painter Paul Cézanne influenced his artistic work, as did the work of Adolf Hölzel and Oskar Coester . Although Tröger was aware of the Art Informel that unfolded in the mid-1950s, he did not allow himself to be distracted and unwaveringly continued on his own path as an artist. In the years from 1965 to 1968, besides painting, there was a no less remarkable graphic work.

Tröger himself attaches great importance to not looking at the things that he reproduces and depicts in his works individually, but always in terms of references and mutual dependencies. According to Tröger, everything oscillates in relation to one another. His creative process is characterized by repeated revisions and interruptions, always critically looking to define the extent of the image and to represent the image space. Tröger is not interested in the objectivity in itself, but in the metamorphosis of a visual experience into an image idea.
