About Heinrich Wildemann

  • Biography from Auctionata

    From 1924 to 1927, Heinrich Wildemann studied at the Art Academy in Stuttgart and at the College of Fine and Applied Arts in Berlin-Charlottenburg. First, he devoted himself to various print making techniques, inspired by the artists' group 'Die Brücke'. From the 1930s onwards, Wildemann was a close friend of the group's founder Karl Schmidt-Rottluff.

    During the Nazi regime, an exhibition ban was imposed on the German artist and he had to work in secret. In 1944, Wildemann's Berlin studio was destroyed, with the majority of his works being lost forever.

    After the war, the painter settled in Stuttgart and took part in several major exhibitions in Germany. Several solo exhibitions were held in various German cities. In 1955, Wildemann was appointed to the Stuttgart Academy of Fine Arts as professor of abstract painting succeeding the famous artist Willi Baumeister.
