Wolfram Rudolphi
Wolfram Rudolphi (born June 14, 1906 in Zehlendorf near Berlin ; † October 18, 1992 in Berlin-Lichterfelde ) was a German painter and graphic artist .
Life
Wolfram Rudolphi, who came from a family of artists, was the second son of the landscape painter Johannes Rudolphi and the painter Margarete Rudolphi , a daughter of the royal building councilor Franz Haeberlin . After attending school in Zehlendorf, like his parents, he decided to pursue an artistic career and from 1925 to 1930 went to study at the arts and crafts school in Berlin-Charlottenburg with Edmund Schaefer and Hans Orlowski . He also gained practical knowledge in the studios of painters.
After completing his training, Rudolphi worked as a freelance artist from 1930 to 1940 . He found the motifs for his pictures, mainly painted in watercolor , while traveling through Brandenburg, the Harz Mountains, to Halberstadt and Quedlinburg . Through his works shown at exhibitions, "a permanent contract with the duke couple Ernst-August von Braunschweig-Lüneburg and daughter Friederike [...]" developed.
At the beginning of the Second World War, Wolfram Rudolphi married Renate von Eberstein in August 1940 and moved with her into his parents' house in Berlin-Schlachtensee . Then he did military service. After returning from captivity, he tried to work as a freelance artist again from 1946, but also took on manual activities in a permanent position in the post-war period . When Rudolphi got a job in the cultural sector of the Berlin Senate in 1957 , only a few pictures were taken. It was not until 1971 that he devoted himself again to landscape painting with motifs from different regions of Germany and abroad.
