Rudolf Schramm-Zittau

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rudolf Schramm-Zittau , actually Rudolph Max Schramm, also Rudolf Schramm, (born March 1, 1874 in Zittau , † June 4, 1950 in Ehrwald , Tyrol ) was a late impressionist German painter of city and animal images . He gave himself the suffix -Zittau to show his connection with the city of birth.

Live and act

Schramm was born the son of Friedrich August Schramm and his wife Clara Marie (née Klinger). In the mid-1890s he studied at the Dresden Academy with Friedrich Preller the Younger , at the Grand Ducal Art School in Karlsruhe with Viktor Weißhaupt and at the Munich Art Academy with Heinrich von Zügel .

He received an award at the Paris World Exhibition in 1900 . At the 2nd Venice Biennale in 1901 he was represented with two paintings, with the painting cockfight he won a gold medal. Schramm was a well-known and versatile animal painter whose motifs water birds and horse hunting were particularly valued. Schramm-Zittau took part in the first exhibition of the Deutscher Künstlerbund in Munich in 1904 with the oil painting Geese (1903?) - at that time still as a jury member of the Munich Secession , under whose board of trustees the exhibition ran. A few years later he was accepted as a DKB member himself.

After being appointed "Royal Professor", Schramm-Zittau worked in Munich until 1934. Several urban genre scenes were created during his time in Munich . In 1923 he traveled to Tyrol and in 1930 he came to Ehrwald . In 1934/1935 he was appointed professor of animal and landscape painting at the Dresden Art Academy , where he took over the animal painting class as Emanuel Hegenbarth's successor . Schramm was one of the most exhibited German artists after 1933, but his wish to give Adolf Hitler a large painting failed because Hitler's adjutant Albert Bormann criticized the quality of the picture. At the Great German Art Exhibitions in the Munich House of German Art , he was represented with a total of twelve paintings, including 1939 with a chicken feeder . In the final phase of the Second World War , Adolf Hitler included him in the God-gifted list of the most important painters in August 1944 , which freed him from military service, including on the home front . From 1944 Schramm lived again in Ehrwald, where he died in 1950.

Schramm's paintings are owned by the museums of Altenburg ( Lindenau Museum ), Buenos Aires, Chemnitz, Chicago, Dresden ( Galerie Neue Meister ), Essen ( Museum Folkwang ), Frankfurt am Main ( Städelsches Kunstinstitut ), Zittau, Görlitz, Johannesburg, Magdeburg, Mainz, Munich, Nuremberg, Venice and Wuppertal. His large painting Poultry Yard was donated by Hugo Reisinger ( New York ) in 1911 to the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston . He was also a member of the Association of Lusatian Visual Artists . Pictures from Schramm-Zittau are regularly represented in the German auction trade.
