Tina Blau, 1869

Tina Blau-Lang (born November 15, 1845 in Vienna ; † October 31, 1916 there ) was an important Austrian landscape painter of the Viennese Art Nouveau .

Life

Tina Blau was of Jewish origin. She was the daughter of the kk military doctor Simon Blau, who supported her penchant for painting. Tina Blau was a student of August Schaeffer von Wienwald , Anton Hanley, Wilhelm Lindenschmit in Munich (1869–1873) and Emil Jakob Schindler . She had a studio community with the latter from 1875 to 1876 , but the artists fell out.

In 1883 she converted to the Evangelical Church and in the same year married the horse and battle painter Heinrich Lang (1838–1891). The couple moved to Munich , where the artist taught landscape and still life at the women's academy of the Munich artists ' association from 1889 . In 1890 she had an exhibition at the Münchner Kunstverein , where she was able to show 60 works.

After her husband's death, she traveled to Holland and Italy and then returned to Vienna after an absence of ten years, where she set up her studio not far from the Prater rotunda . In 1897 she founded the art school for women and girls in Vienna together with Olga Prager , Rosa Mayreder and Karl Federn , where she taught landscape and still life from 1898 to 1915.

Tina Blau-Lang spent her last summer and part of autumn working tirelessly in Gastein , from where she went to a Viennese sanatorium for an examination - and died there of cardiac arrest . She was given a grave of honor at the Simmering Evangelical Cemetery ( Wiener Zentralfriedhof , Gate 3, Group 3, No. 12 [formerly the 4th gate right next to the 3rd gate]). 

The Vienna Künstlerhaus dedicated a memorial exhibition to her in September 1917, which was preceded by an auction of the artistic estate in March of that year . In 1930 a traffic area , the Tina-Blau-Weg , was named after her in the Baumgarten district, which until 1938 belonged to Vienna-Hietzing. During the National Socialist era , the route was renamed for anti-Semitic reasons.

Tina Blau is one of the most important Austrian painters of the 19th century. Like Emil Jakob Schindler, Carl Moll , Theodor von Hörmann , Hugo Darnaut , Marie Egner and Olga Wisinger-Florian, she belongs to the style of Austrian mood impressionism and mainly created landscapes and still lifes. But she also became known for her professors' portraits from her last creative period.

The artist went on extensive study trips, which also took her to Bohemia , Moravia and Transylvania , where her first large pictures were taken. Many of her motifs come from Vienna and its surroundings. The painting Spring in the Prater , which was awarded a prize at the Paris Salon in 1882 , became famous. Tina Blau took part in exhibitions in Munich, Berlin , Dresden , Leipzig , Hamburg , Paris and Chicago . Even in old age she stayed with her style of painting and was not interested in the then prevailing Art Nouveau.
