Stanislaus Stückgold (also Stanisław, Stanislas, born May 18, 1868 in Warsaw , Russian Empire ; died January 9, 1933 in Paris ) was a Polish-German-French painter.

Life

Piece gold came from a Jewish merchant family in Warsaw. He first studied at the Warsaw Polytechnic and then chemistry and philosophy in Zurich and the Sorbonne in Paris. After his military service in the Russian army, he worked as an assistant at a state chemical laboratory in Berlin and Düsseldorf. In Warsaw he became the manager of a chemical factory. He set up a vacant technical office and registered patents in the textile industry and boiler heating. He worked in London for railroad and steamship companies and in Poland in coal mining.

In 1905/06, Stückgold supported the revolution in Poland on the socialist, national Polish and Jewish side (movement of freedom against Russia). He was arrested several times and imprisoned in Moscow and Petersburg. After the suppression of the revolution, he gave up his activity as an engineer and began studying art in Warsaw. In 1907 he fled Poland to Munich to avoid being deported to Siberia. There he attended the painting school of the Hungarian Simon Hollósy and in the summer of 1908 Hollósys painters colony in Nagybánya , Hungary. In Nagybánya he met his future wife Elisabeth Veress, with whom he had a severely disabled child.

In October 1908, Stückgold moved to Paris and became a pupil of Henri Matisse . He and his wife had lived in a residential studio on Rue Notre-Dame-des-Champs since mid-December. During this time he met Henri Rousseau , who lived in the nearby Rue Perrel. In March 1909, Stückgold exhibited for the first time in the Salon des Indépendants .

In 1913, Stückgold and his wife moved to Munich and became friends with Albert Steffen and other anthroposophical supporters, and he joined the Anthroposophical Society . Marianne Werefkin arranged an exhibition for him with Hans Goltz in Munich, and Herwarth Walden invited him to the First German Autumn Salon in Berlin. August Macke and Franz Marc hung the portrait of little Judith Wolfskehl (Judith Köllhofer-Wolfskehl [1901–1983], daughter of Karl Wolfskehl ), which is also shown in the catalog , as well as still lifes in blue and a dressing table .

Stückgold opened a painting school in Munich, which he ran until 1921. In 1920 the couple separated, Elisabeth and Steffen moved to Rudolf Steiner in Dornach , and from 1923 he was back in Paris, where he ran a painting school again until 1926. After his death, André Salmon showed a retrospective at the Bernheim-Jeune gallery .

Stückgold painted landscapes, still lifes and the "zodiac pictures" in bright colors. His portraits show u. a. Martin Buber , Oskar Cohn Margot and Albert Einstein , Else Lasker-Schüler and Albert Steffen.
