Note: |
Gustav Hagemann: An important twentieth
century German painter, sculptor and printmaker, Gustav Hagemann first
studied art in Kassel. His education was interrupted by service as a soldier
in the First World War (1914-1918). Gustav Hagemann completed his studies at the
Art Academy of Munich in 1920. Two years later he accepted the post of
an arts teacher in the region of Leipzig. |
|
Gustav Hagemann first exhibited his art in the early 1920's. By 1927 his work
was the subject of one man exhibitions in Berlin, Leipzig and elsewhere.
From 1926 to 1939 Gustave Hagemann annually visited the northern lands
of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland and Lapland. Lapland, in particular,
provided the inspiration for Hagemann's art and through his paintings,
engravings and woodcuts of this land and its people, he provided a most
valuable artistic and historical record of the Lapland culture. The Second
World War (1939-1945) prevented the artist from traveling to his 'second
home', but he resumed his annual visits from 1950 to 1966. |
|
Most of Gustav Hagemann's early Lapland engravings and etchings
were printed by Otto Felsing in Berlin. Felsing was one of Germany's master
printers
of the era and was also responsible for printing etchings by such major
artists as Kollwitz, Nolde, Kubin, Orlik and Vogeler. As well, Hagemann's
early prints were not numbered in specific editions but it is known that
all were published in very small numbers. |
|
Gustav Hagermann's fine art is the subject of a 1981 book entitled, Gustav
Hagemann, Der Maler des Nordens. His paintings, engravings and sculpture
are included in numerous public collections in both Germany and Scandanavia. |
