Theodor Rosenhauer (born May 8, 1901 in Dresden , † June 14, 1996 in Berlin ) was a German painter of landscape and portrait painting.

Life

Theodor Rosenhauer first attended the secondary school in Radebeul and the Dresden School of Applied Arts before studying with Ferdinand Dorsch at the Dresden Art Academy from 1919 to 1924 . In 1924 he began to paint as a freelancer, he belonged to the circle of friends around Karl Kröner and Paul Wilhelm . In 1925 a study trip to Romania followed , which influenced his later work.

In 1934 Rosenhauer's request to be appointed to the Dresden Art Academy was rejected. He had been unanimously selected for appointment by the Dresden university professors, but the Nazi regime did not allow this to happen. In 1938 he went on another study trip to Italy .

After the beginning of the Second World War , he did his military service in Krakow from 1940 to 1945. During a bomb attack on the city of Dresden in 1945, his studio in the Polytechnic School on Antonsplatz was destroyed and practically the entire previous work was destroyed. That is why he later worked temporarily in Radebeul . In 1969 he was appointed a member of the GDR Academy of the Arts and in 1987 he was made an honorary senator of the Dresden Art School.

After a stroke in 1992, he lived in a nursing home in Berlin-Wannsee until his death .
