Life

Tina Pezellen was born in the Austro-Hungarian Cattaro as the daughter of an Austrian officer. She grew up in a family interested in music in the Bohemian town of Neuhaus. After graduating from high school in 1916, she studied at academies and arts and crafts schools from 1917 to 1924, first in Vienna in 1917/1918 at the graphic teaching and research institute and in 1921/1922 at the arts and crafts school .

In Vienna she was very impressed by the early work of Oskar Kokoschka and the drawings by Egon Schiele . This was followed thematically by a socially critical turn to the people of the slums, in particular to children in backyards and orphanages. She had her first successes in the 1920s and early 1930s as a member of the generation of artists known as Expressive Realism , New Objectivity and Verism . Her images of people were in the tradition of Ernst Barlach , Paula Modersohn-Becker and Käthe Kollwitz . In 1923/1924 she continued her studies at the Munich School of Applied Arts , including with Richard Riemerschmid .

In addition to her artistic activity, she worked as a commercial and commercial illustrator in Mannheim, Aussig (Usti nad Labem) from 1925 to 1928, and from 1928 freelance in Reichenberg (Liberec) and Munich. 1930–1932 she studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich . I.a. she attended lectures by Max Doerner there . In 1937 she moved to Weimar with her husband, the art photographer Siegbert Bauer (who died in the war in 1944). In 1933 three of her paintings were removed from the spring exhibition of the Munich New Secession as "alien". The National Socialists ostracized their art as " degenerate "; then the artist lived in seclusion for many years and devoted herself entirely to her own two children, whom she often portrayed.

She came to lithography in the 1950s . In 1952 she undertook studies at VEB Rheinmetall in Sömmerda , in 1958 and 1962 in the port of Rostock and in the Warnow shipyard . 1957–1961 she traveled to southern France, 1963 to Bulgaria. In the 1960s she increasingly devoted herself to still life and landscape painting . Children played a central role in her work throughout her life. In addition to illustrations for eleven children's books, Tina Bauer-Pezellen left behind around 200 works, most of which are in museums and collections in the new federal states.

In 1973 Bauer received the city of Weimar's art prize; In 1977 she became an honorary member of the Association of Visual Artists of the GDR (VBK).

Her daughter was the painter and graphic artist Annemirl Bauer (1939–1989).

Tina Bauer-Pezellen's grave is in the cemetery in Oberweimar.
