Wilhelm Schulze-Rose (born January 10, 1872 in Dahme / Mark , † October 27, 1950 in Schirgiswalde ) was a German painter .

Life

Wilhelm Schulze-Rose trained at the Königsberg , Dresden and Leipzig art academies from 1891 . Study trips took him to Norway , Sweden and the Netherlands .

He settled down first in Dessau and later in Leipzig, where he and Albrecht Leistner were among the founders of the Leipzig Secession , of which he was chairman. As such, he was responsible for organizing the annual exhibitions in 1910 and 1911. In Dessau he was already in charge of the local artists' association. In 1912 he was a member of the board of directors of the newly founded Leipzig Annual Exhibition (LIA) together with Max Klinger and Johannes Hartmann .

From 1916 he spent the summer months in Gehren near Luckau . Many landscape paintings were created here, especially from the area around the Fläming , which earned him a reputation as a naturalist and “peasant painter”.

In the mid-twenties, he founded the Land Association of Visual Artists , which set itself the goal of creating exhibition opportunities and purchases for artists who lived and worked in the country, away from the cultural scene.

From 1923 he lived in Lomnitz , Silesian Upper Lusatia , on the estate of his son-in-law. After the expulsion in 1945 he found shelter with his stepdaughter in Kirschau .

He died completely impoverished in the Catholic old people's home in Schirgiswalde and was buried in the local cemetery.

The art historian Johannes Jahn was his stepson.
