Description: Woodcut Karl Hennemann 1884 - 1972 summer meadow Mecklenburg Ahrenshoop "Summer Meadow"- by Karl HennemannKarl Rudolf Hennemann (born 24. August 1884 in Waren (Müritz); † 20 March 1972 in Schwerin) was a German painter, graphic artist and wood cutter.Karl Hennemann was born in Waren (Müritz) in 1884 as the second of six children of a civil engineer. At the beginning of 1890 the family moved to Güstrow due to the father's professional activity and in 1898 to Schwerin, where the father now worked as an engineer for the state government. Hennemann attended high school at the cathedral school in Schwerin. His parents supported his desire to become a painter from an early age.His training began in 1901 with his studies at the School of Applied Arts in Hamburg; after one semester he went to the art school in Berlin in 1901. He then studied from 1903 to 1905 at the Berlin-Charlottenburg Academy of Fine Arts and from 1905 to 1907 at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts with Karl Raupp.[1] In the years 1908/09 he took further lessons from the landscape painter Hans Licht in Berlin and from 1910 to 1916 he continued his studies with Friedrich Kallmorgen in Charlottenburg. From 1912 he worked as a freelancer in Berlin.[2]Several trips have taken Hennemann to various regions of Germany, to Scandinavia, Switzerland and Italy. The impressions from the world of the Norwegian fjords as well as the Alps were immortalized by him in several paintings. In 1918 he became a member of the Berlin Artists' Association and from 1920 also of the Free Association of Graphic Artists in Berlin. From 1920 onwards he increasingly dealt with woodcuts as an autodidact, although initially economic reasons were decisive. Better sales prospects were to be expected here with lower material costs. He remained connected to this art into old age. In September 1943 his studio was destroyed in a bomb attack, with much of his work being burned. In 1944 he was honored for his work with the John Brinckman Prize.Karl Hennemann moved to Schwerin and lived with his brother Hans in a house on the Schelfstadt. In Schwerin he had friendly contact with the writers Hermann Glander and Rudolf Schaller as well as with the visual artists Rudolf Gahlbeck, Erich Venzmer and Vera Kopetz. Hennemann was a member of the Association of Visual Artists of the GDR. When working with a graver became more difficult with increasing age, he began a new chapter: the watercolor.Karl Hennemann had been married to the painter Helene Hennemann-Bartsch (1885–1964) since 1912. The couple had a daughter and a son. Karl Hennemann died in March 1972 and was buried in the Old Cemetery in Schwerin.Source: Wikipedia.org- still listed in Thieme-Becker and in the "Ahrenshoop artist lexicon"- dated 1946- autograph deduction- signed in pencilTechnique: wood engravingto the state:- Paper is stained- see photos Dimensions view: 16.8 x 12.3 cmdimensions with passe-partout: 39x29cm PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER ITEMS! _gsrx_vers_856 (GS 7.0.20 (856))His training began in 1901 with his studies at the School of Applied Arts in Hamburg; after one semester he went to the art school in Berlin in 1901.
