Life

Between 1945 and 1947 the Hachulla family relocated to Halle / Saale as part of their escape. Here Hachulla took drawing lessons from the painter and Liebermann student Hanns Markowski during his school days. After graduating from high school and a practical year in a Halle printer, he began his studies in 1963 at the University of Graphic and Book Art in Leipzig a. a. with Harry Blume, Hans Mayer-Foreyt , Bernhard Heisig and Werner Tübke . From 1968 to 1972 Hachulla worked as a freelance artist in Leipzig, before he returned to the university as an aspirant with Werner Tübke in 1972 and then became his master class.

In 1974 he was given a teaching post and two years later he was appointed head of the etching workshop. Since 1993 Hachulla has held the professorship for graphics / etching at the University of Graphic and Book Art in Leipzig and from 2005 until his retirement in 2008 he headed the graphics class of the well-known art academy. Ulrich Hachulla lives and works in Leipzig.

Study trips led him a. a. to Italy, Egypt, Korea, Yugoslavia, Switzerland, the USA, the Soviet Union and Iraq.

Together with Volker Stelzmann , Arno Rink and Wolfgang Peuker , Ulrich Hachulla belongs to a generation which, especially in the 1970s, was close to the New Objectivity in its formal language . Hachulla's pictures communicate frozen, human behavior, states of distance and strangeness, they tell, often with a humorous undertone, of oppressive narrowness and rebellious attempts to escape. The portrait plays a central role here. In addition to recurring self-portrayals, the portraits of Hachulla show people alone, uncommunicative, coolly distant, located in private surroundings or in their work environment. In this way, numerous characteristic portraits of types, individual stories and faces of time are created.

Ulrich Hachulla gained particular respect for his extensive graphic oeuvre: after early, strictly linear etchings , he tested the possibilities and limits of drypoint , aquatint and reserve , conquered the field of multi-plate printing, and discovered techniques that had been forgotten such as vernis mou and roulette and white printing and passes this knowledge on to the next generation of the so-called New Leipzig School over the course of its many years of university activity .

The artistic work of Ulrich Hachulla follows the tendencies of critical realism of his time. It continues the traditional lines of Otto Dix and Christian Schad , develops them further and transfers them to the present. The traces of his teaching at Werner Tübke can be recognized in the symbolic, in the mythological allegorical references.
