Paul Horst-Schulze
Paul Horst-Schulze (5 October 1876 – 27 December 1937) was a German painter, graphic artist and artisan. His stage name Horst-Schulze came about by combining his middle name with his original family name.Andreas Höhn: ''Werkbundgründer und Expressionist.'' . Life Born in Naunhof, Horst-Schulze was a son of the Naunhofer pastor Moritz Hermann Schulze (1828-1909). At the age of seven, he suffered a serious back injury when he fell from a tree. Since he concealed the accident out of fear of his father, without medical treatment his back became so deformed that he had a hump for the rest of his life. At that time, this was a reason not to take up the training as a pastor that his father was aiming for. Instead, he studied at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig from 1891 and at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste München from 1894, as well as one year at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. When he returned to Leipzig at the beginning of the 20th century, he was co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
