Walter Tom Hops , also Tom Walter Hops (born May 6, 1906 in Hamburg ; † January 23, 1976 there ) was a German painter and graphic artist of the lost generation .

Life

At the end of his tenure in 1963, the Kiel mayor Herbert Fuchs received a painting by Tom Hops as a farewell present in the Kiel town hall . To the left of him, the Lord Mayor of Kiel Hans Müthling . The painting shows, among other things, the main church in Kiel, St. Nikolai .

Tom Hops was influenced in his childhood by his artistic mother, who took him to the Hamburger Kunsthalle at an early age and introduced him to drawing. After leaving school, he completed a commercial apprenticeship in import and export. He then went to sea in 1926 and 1927 as paymaster for the Woermann Line, painting and drawing on the side. In 1928 he moved to Berlin and decided on painting, which he appropriated himself as a self-taught, as he was rejected by the Prussian Academy of the Arts . In the same year a trip to Italy followed. Around 1930 he was sponsored by Berlin gallery owners, such as Alfred Flechtheim , with whom he went in and out.

From 1933 he was based in Hamburg again. From 1935 at the latest, he lived at Schlankreye 59 in Hamburg-Harvestehude and from 1936 or 1937 at Fuhlsbüttler Strasse 288 in Hamburg-Barmbek-Nord . In 1936 and 1938 he received two scholarships from the Erdwin Amsinck Foundation. During the Second World War he was assigned to the Navy in 1940 , where he was a lieutenant at sea , including in the Bay of Biscay . In 1943 he received the Albrecht Dürer Prize from the city of Nuremberg . After the war he was a member of the artist group Hamburger Gruppe , founded by Martin Irwahn and Richard Steffen , among others , which also included Willi Breest (1891–1952), Ernst Flege (1898–1965), Fritz Husmann (1896–1982), Peter Luksch ( 1901–1988, son of Richard Luksch and Elena Luksch-Makowsky ), Max Hermann Mahlmann , Hanns Müller-Dünwald (1900–1955), Franz Nespethal (1912–1993), Kurt Priegnitz (also Kurth and Prignitz , 1914–1983), Hermann Schütte (1893–1973), Walter Siebelist , KRH Sonderborg , Hildegard Stromberger (1904–1985), Johannes Ufer and Ernst Witt (1901–1977) belonged. He also became a member of the Rotary Club Hamburg , in which he was very involved. He was also in contact with Gisela Kühler-Balcke , who made a portrait bust of him.

From 1945 Tom Hops had a student, the painter and graphic artist Diether Kressel learned to paint with watercolors . In addition to painting, Tom Hops was also politically active and was appointed to the cultural deputation for the FDP . Around 1951, at the invitation of the owner of the North Frisian shipping company Consul Thomas Entz-von Zerssen, a two-month voyage followed. These and other trips have taken him to France , England , Spain , Italy , Morocco , Istanbul and in the Switzerland and the United States . But he also traveled a lot within Germany. He visited the island of Sylt regularly. In Niebüll , he once restored the mural Bierkönig by the painter Carl Ludwig Jessen in a restaurant, which found a new place in 2014 in Andersen-Hüs in Klockries, in the municipality of Risum-Lindholm . In 1955 he moved to Hallerstraße 1d, in one of the Grindel high-rise buildings in Hamburg-Harvestehude. Tom Hops lived next door to the composer and artistic director Rolf Liebermann . The sculptor Fritz Fleer , with whom Hops was friends, also lived in one of the high-rise buildings at Hallerstraße 5a . The painter Arnold Fiedler also lived in one of the Grindel tower blocks, at Grindelberg 60 on the 9th floor.

In the 1950s and 1960s, Tom Hops was considered something of an "ambassador of Hamburg" , as many of his colorful views of Hamburg were given by the Hamburg Senate and commissioned by banks, shipping companies, industrial companies such as Shell , in numerous international cities such as Rio de Janeiro , Helsinki , Warsaw and Paris were given away. In 1960 he was awarded the Edwin Scharff Prize of the City of Hamburg, as was Martin Irwahn. In 1974 he was appointed professor . In addition to oil paintings , watercolors, gouaches and fiber pen drawings , Tom Hops also created art in public spaces, such as glass mosaic windows , wall paintings, a tile stele and a ceramic mosaic . Some of his lithographs were published by the Griffelkunst-Vereinigung Langenhorn .

Hops family grave, Ohlsdorf cemetery

Tom Hops was buried in 1976 in the Ohlsdorf cemetery in Hamburg, grid square AA 5.

Tom Hops, who also has descendants, is among others with works in the collections of the Hamburger Kunsthalle , the Altonaer Museum in Hamburg, the Kunsthalle Bremen , the Stadtmuseum Warleberger Hof in Kiel, the Pinneberg Museum , the Museumberg Flensburg , the Museum Rade am Schloss Reinbek and the Osten World Gallery of Drawings in Skopje as well as in the collections of Gerhard Schneider , Hermann-Josef Bunte , in the Deutsche Bank Collection, the Deutsche Bundesbank collections , in Hamburg, the Hamburger Sparkasse , the Authority for Culture and Media , of the NDR , the BBC and the SAGA group of companies , with at least 15 plants.

At the beginning of January 2017, the approx. 400 parts of the ceramic mosaic by Tom Hops from 1971 were numbered, removed from the wall of the former local office in Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel at Hummelsbütteler Landstrasse 46, freed from the several centimeters thick layer of old mortar on the back and in the meeting room of the building Tangstedter Landstrasse 6 in Hamburg-Langenhorn rented by the Hamburg-Nord district using tile adhesive . At that time, Tom Hops received 30,000 DM for making the mosaic . The Langenhorner Peter Ahrens Bauunternehmen GmbH , which owns both houses and is building and renovating the Hummelsbütteler Landstrasse , took over the acceptance, cleaning, transport and installation of the mosaic parts . Two company employees are said to have required a total of around 500 hours for this project.

reception

On August 22, 2010, an episode of the NDR's Lieb & Teuer program was broadcast, hosted by Ann-Katrin Schröder . Among other things, an oil painting of a north German river landscape that was once painted on cardboard by Tom Hops was discussed.
