Life
Anton Kerschbaumer was born on 20 November 1885 in Rosenheim. From 1901 to 1908 he studied at the Munich art academy with professors Maximilian Dasio and Julius Exter. There he passed the drawing-teacher examination. In 1905, he was a prize-winner in the price competition for advertising advertisements by Ludwig Stollwerck and Otto Henkell. Other prizes were the artists Julius Diez, Eugene Kirchner, Friedrich Stahl, Albert Klingner, Ludwig Hohlwein, Fritz Klee, Bernhard Halbreiter, Elly Hirsch, Johann Baptist Maier, Georg von Kürthy, Fritz Helmuth Ehmcke, Paul Leuteritz, Otto Kleinschmidt, Ulrich Hübner , Anton Hoffmann, Otto Ludwig Naegele, Peter Würth, Ernst Oppler, A. Altschul, Ant. Jos. Pepins and August Geigenberger. [1] After moving to Berlin in 1908 he was - like Paul Kleinschmidt - a student of Lovis Corinth for a time. In Berlin he also met Martin Bloch (1883-1954). He was impressed by the post-impressionists Paul Cézanne, Vincent van Gogh and Henri Matisse, and he was influenced by them, but eventually turned away from Impressionism. In 1914, he exhibited for the first time at the art dealer Israel Ber Neumann.
In the First World War Kerschbaumer was in Ostend (Flanders) in the volunteer medical train of Erich Heckel, where also the painter Max Kaus, the writer and jurist Ernst Morwitz and Otto Herbig worked as nurses. He learned about lasting impressions and suggestions from Heckel's art and lithographic work. In 1919 he returned to Berlin and took part in a first large collective exhibition with the publisher Paul Cassirer. The predominant part of his works of the 1920s arose in a work- and "community of ideas", which resumed the traces of the artist group "Brücke", dissolved in 1913; Max Kaus and Walter Gramatté were involved here.
In 1921 he married and stayed with his wife Friederike in the summers of the following years mostly on the Chiemsee and the Ammersee. In the Wurzburg of the 1920s, he met Erich Heckel, Otto Modersohn, Friedrich Ahlers-Hestermann and other artists for a joint stay at the "Neue Welt" with painter Gertraud Rostosky. In 1926, together with Martin Bloch, he founded an art school in Berlin; The pupil was, among others, Kurt Scheele (1905-1944). In the same year he participated in a collective exhibition of contemporary artists in the Berlin gallery Nierendorf. He stayed in Malcesine on Lake Garda for 1927 and 1928. In 1929 he traveled to Carolles in Normandy and Paris. In 1930, he worked for three months as a scholar at the Deutsches Akademie Villa Massimo in Rome. Here he met the Expressionists Karl Schmidt-Rottluff and again Otto Herbig, with whom he then spent the summer in Malcesine. In the winter of the same year seriously ill, he died on August 2, 1931 in Berlin-Tegel.
Anton Kerschbaumer was a member of the Deutscher Künstlerbund [2]
Kerschbaumer is attributed to the late Expressionist, the "second generation," who wanted to actively shape the "New Age" under the personal, apocalyptic impression of the First World War. Many of Kerschbaumer's works are in private and family ownership as well as in the collection Frank Brabant, Wiesbaden, in the Buchheim collection, Bernried on Lake Starnberger See, in the art collection of the Städtische Galerie Rosenheim, in the Brücke Museum Berlin, in the Angermuseum Erfurt, in the museum Abteiberg in Mönchengladbach and the Bavarian State Painting Collection. In 1933, a special exhibition of watercolors by Kerschbaumer took place in Berlin at Galerie Nierendorf as a memorial exhibition. In 1981, 1999, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007, works by him were exhibited in exhibitions of the Brücke Museum in Berlin from the collections of this museum. In 2001 a Kerschbaumer exhibition took place in Rosenheim. In 2004 he exhibited works in the exhibition "Tradition and Revival - Würzburg and the Art of the 1920s" in Würzburg. For 2006/2007 the Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz has issued a loanable exhibition "Into the intoxication of the elementary. Late Expressionists from 1915 to 1925. Paintings and sculptures from the collection of the National Gallery ", which also includes oil paintings by Kerschbaumer (eg" Grüner Kanal "of 1925).
