Rudolf Haegele

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rudolf Haegele (born April 21, 1926 in Schömberg near Rottweil ; † June 27, 1998 in Remseck ) was a German painter and university professor .

Life

Rudolf Haegele's father was a teacher and organist and had the title of church music director . In 1932 the family moved to Aalen . After primary school, Rudolf Haegele attended the Schubart-Gymnasium Aalen from 1936 and graduated from high school in 1943. He was then drafted into the labor service and later into the Navy. Shocked by the horrors of the war, "he discovered painting for himself as an opportunity to express his unconditional no to the world as he had experienced it, and an equally unconditional yes to changing this world". So in 1946 he began studying at the Stuttgart Art Academy with the painters Fritz Steisslinger and Hermann Sohn . In 1949, the Louis Gindraux scholarship enabled him to study in Paris for one year. The painting of Jean Dubuffer and the philosophy of Albert Camus , which he got to know there, were to have a profound influence on his further work. From 1951 to 1952 he continued his studies at the Stuttgart Academy with Rudolf Yelin . He then worked as a freelance artist, with numerous exhibitions at home and abroad. In 1960 he married Ilse Gabriel and the family moved to Remseck near Ludwigsburg in 1965 . In the summer semester of 1965 he was appointed professor of painting and successor to Heinrich Wildemann, who died the previous year, at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart, an office that he held until his retirement in 1992. In 1968 the Stuttgart Secession elected him its chairman. He died in Remseck in 1998. The art critic Gabriele Hoffmann writes about his work: "Rudolf Haegele's painting is an expression of the revolt against a world as he knows it, and at the same time an expression of love for a world for which the artistic revolt is worthwhile." With this attitude he left a lasting mark on a large number of young artists.
