"Self-portrait" by Werner Schramm, 1970

Werner Schramm (born September 21, 1898 in Duisburg , † July 24, 1970 in Düsseldorf ) was a German portrait , figure and landscape painter and set designer . He was a member of the artists' association Das Junge Rheinland , which between 1919 and 1933 represented the interests of young Rhenish artists and organized exhibitions. After the Second World War, he and his wife, the artist Liselotte Schramm-Heckmann, belonged to the international artist group of the Peintres de la Réalité , which later developed into the Mouvement Trompe-l'œil / Réalité .

Life

Werner Schramm was already an artist as a schoolboy. For example, in 1915 the 16-year-old made a drawing showing Liselotte Heckmann, his future wife. Schramm drew this work under his early teacher Fritz Linde, who later died in the First World War . Since he valued his drawing teacher very much, Schramm supported a commemorative exhibition and created a portfolio with linoleum cuts in memory of Linde.

After studying at the Düsseldorf School of Applied Arts and the Munich Art Academy , Schramm worked from 1920 to 1922 as a set designer under Louise Dumont and Gustav Lindemann at the Düsseldorf Schauspielhaus as the sole artistic advisor. In 1922 his portfolio of lithographs, Encounters, was published by the Alfred Flechtheim Gallery , which he dedicated to Louise Dumont. From 1922 he worked on stages in Hamborn, Mönchengladbach, Oberhausen and Gladbeck. In 1925 Schramm decided to devote himself only to free painting. Since this was not compatible with his successful work on the stage, he gave it up.

In 1925 Schramm married the artist Liselotte Schramm-Heckmann and lived with her from 1925 to 1926 for study purposes in Fiesole near Florence and from 1926 to 1931 in Meudon near Paris. In 1931 the couple moved back to Düsseldorf and exhibited their art at home and abroad in the years that followed. As part of the defamation as “ degenerate art ”, the National Socialists also confiscated 13 works of art by Schramm in public art collections in 1937. During the war, Werner Schramm was also called up for military service and served as a medic from 1939 to 1945. In 1945 he moved to the Waldecksche, in 1948 he returned to Düsseldorf.

Werner Schramm saw an obligation in his painting and drawing gifts very early on, which he has consistently endeavored to satisfy throughout his life. Disappointed with the training at the academies, he joined the experiments in expression and abstraction. He renounced his successful career as a set designer and, together with his wife, turned to an attempt at a new objectivity . A mixed technique developed over many years, in which the possibilities of tempera , oil paint and resin essence glazes are combined, similar to that used by the old German masters, served as the basis. This technique interacted with the inner form of his work, which was the magic of reality in color and drawings, and which he brought to perfection against all odds of the day and fashion. His painterly works were supplemented by extensive drawings and graphic works.
