| Franz von Stuck 1863-1928 Stuck's works were never admitted to the Geat German Art Exhibit, however he was Hitler's favorite painter. A choice that tells a lot about the hypocrisy of Adolf hitler and his trouble mind. In fact, Hitler's philosophy was "Do as I say but not as I do." |
Stuck was born at Tettenweis, in
Bavaria. From an early age he
displayed an affinity for drawing
and caricature. To begin his
artistic education in 1878 he went
to Munich, where he would settle
for life. From 1881 to 1885 Stuck
attended the Munich Academy.
He first made a name with cartoons
for Fliegende Blätter, and vignette
designs for programmes and book
decoration. In 1889 he exhibited
his first paintings at the Munich
Glass Palace, winning a gold
medal for The Guardian of
Paradise.
In 1892 Stuck co-founded the
Munich Secession, and also
executed his first sculpture,
Athlete. The following year he won
further acclaim with the critical and
public success of what is now his
most famous work, The Sin. Also in
1893, Stuck was awarded a gold
medal for painting at the Chicago
World's Fair and was appointed to
a royal professorship. In 1895 he
began teaching painting at the
Munich Academy.
In 1897 Stuck married an American
widow, Mary Lindpainter, and
began work designing his own
residence and studio, the Villa
Stuck. His designs for the villa
included everything from layout to
interior decorations; for his
furniture Stuck received another
gold medal at the 1900 Paris
World Exposition.
Having attained a high degree of
fame by this time, Stuck was
elevated to the aristocracy on
December 9, 1905 and would
receive further public honours from
around Europe during the
remainder of his life. Even as new
trends in art left Stuck behind, he
continued to be highly respected
among young artists in his capacity
as professor at the Munich
Academy. Notable students of his
over the years include Paul Klee,
Hans Purrmann, Wassily
Kandinsky, and Josef Albers.
Franz von Stuck died in 1928; his
funeral address memorialized him
as "the last prince of art of
Munich's great days". He is buried
in the Munich Waldfriedhof next to
his wife Mary.
