Product description
Jean Paul Kayser, born on September 22, 1869 in Hamburg and died on September 23, 1942 in Donaueschingen, was a renowned German painter and graphic artist. His artistic work spanned several decades and his works bear witness to an impressive artistic journey.
After an apprenticeship as a decorative painter at Wirth & Bay from 1886 to 1889, Kayser continued his training at the Munich School of Applied Arts and the Dresden School of Applied Arts. From 1890 he worked for four years as a decorative painter in his hometown of Hamburg. In 1902 he married Emma Melanie Hertz, the daughter of Hamburg Senator Gustav Ferdinand Hertz. This marriage resulted in two daughters.
From 1906 to 1939, Jean Paul Kayser dedicated himself to Gerda Koppel's art school and taught there, interrupted by his participation in the First World War as a soldier in Schleswig (1916–1918). He had previously given private painting lessons for over five years. During the Second World War, he left Hamburg in 1941 due to the war damage and settled in Donaueschingen, where he died a year later.
Kayser was not only a committed artist, but also an active member of the Hamburg art scene. He was one of the founding members of the Hamburg Artists' Club in 1897 and was a member of the Hamburg Secession, the Hamburg Artists' Association and the Altona Artists' Association. The formative influence of the French painter Albert Marquet, whom Kayser met in 1909 and visited again during a trip to Paris in 1933, was clearly noticeable in his artistic style. His works include two large-format paintings that were created for the furnishings of the ocean liner "Imperator".
In 1937, a still life painting by Kayser fell victim to the Nazi “Degenerate Art” campaign; It was confiscated from the Nissenhaus Husum Museum and its whereabouts are still unknown today.
Jean Paul Kayser's legacy, his artistic legacy, has been honored in various exhibitions, including the exhibition "Hamburg School - The 19th Century Rediscovered" at the Hamburger Kunsthalle in 2019. Kayser's works contribute to the diverse artistic landscape of the 19th and 20th centuries.
