Udo Peters
Udo Peters (born January 17, 1883 in Hanover , † March 18, 1964 in Worpswede ) was a German landscape painter.
Life
Peters attended the Hanover School of Applied Arts, followed by studies at the Munich Academy. One of his teachers in Munich, who shaped his style of painting, was Albert Weisgerber , whose oeuvre can be classified between impressionism and early expressionism. Weisgerber himself was a student of Franz von Stuck. Weisgerber was a very modern, progressive teacher for Udo Peters, who himself was particularly influenced by French Impressionists. At Peters, this well-founded training resulted in his own style in his landscape paintings, which he preserved throughout his entire life as an artist and which makes his paintings unmistakable to this day.
Peters went on study trips to Italy, Croatia, Holland and Switzerland. In 1906 he stayed in Worpswede for several months . In 1908 he returned to Worpswede and settled there on Hembergstrasse. He is regarded as a painter of the second generation of Worpswede artists , since by the time he returned to Worpswede in 1908 the founding generation of Worpswede painters had almost disbanded. B. Paula Modersohn-Becker died in 1907 and her husband Otto Modersohn moved to Fischerhude.
Peters is also known as the chronicler of Worpswede, as he painted almost all the streets in the village in his pictures.
His grave is in the Worpswede cemetery.
