Rudolf Inden
Rudolf "Rudi" Inden (born August 9, 1897 in Gemünd , Schleiden district ; † July 2, 1951 in Rosenheim , Upper Bavaria ) was a German landscape painter from the Düsseldorf School .
Life
Inden, son of the industrialist Wilhelm Inden and his wife Gertrud, née Wolff, grew up in Gemünd and Düsseldorf . Like his older brother, who later became a landscape painter Ernst Inden , he enjoyed a youth in an art-loving family, whose friends included the Eifel painter Fritz von Wille . His parents let him take private lessons from Wille and encouraged his self-taught development as a landscape painter. As such, he made a name for himself as an “ Eifel painter ”. On June 9, 1926, he married Maria Klinkenberg from the Netherlands in The Hague . The marriage remained childless. A turning point for the industrial family Inden meant the New York stock exchange crash in 1929 and the subsequent global economic crisis , in which the family's financial situation deteriorated significantly. Inden moved to Neuss in 1939 and later to the artists' colony in Gstadt am Chiemsee , where he lived until his death. Inden died at the age of 53 in Rosenheim hospital.
