Faure, Amandus - 1874 Hamburg - 1931 Stuttgart, "Römische Campagna", oil/canvas/painted cardboard, ancient ruins in the wide landscape of the Roman Campagna, signed lower right, on the reverse inscribed in ink 'röm. Campagna', slightly pastose, structured application of paint, ca. 27,5x35cm, frame color abrasion, ca. 36x44cm, Faure was a German painter and graphic artist, 1894 higher painter training at the Stuttgart art school from 1901, under the directorship of Leopold von Kalckreuth, this school was elevated to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and thus to the rank of a university, Ludwig Herterich was his teacher there for academic drawing, Carlos Grethe taught him in the painting class, Director von Kalckreuth taught him composition, initially wavering as to whether he wanted to become a landscape or figure painter, he decided on a broad spectrum. He therefore painted landscapes and vedute as well as genre scenes, portraits and still lifes, particularly flower still lifes, and in 1911 he emerged as a graphic artist with a series of etchings. Unconventional colorism and light-dark contrasts play a major role in his painting style. His portraits of artists (Waldemar Francke, Reinhardt Tenhaeff) and the subjects of his genre paintings, in which Faure depicted the circus and theater milieu from his own experience, were also recognized early on; the Stuttgart Academy awarded him a gold medal in 1905 as one of its most talented students, and he made numerous trips to Paris, Italy, Morocco, Spain and the Netherlands. The impressions of life on the Mediterranean and in the Orient gained on his travels formed a focal point of his painting, and his pictures of the circus, theater and showmen milieu are of particular art-historical significance. Faure was also a member of the Stuttgart Artists' Association, the German Artists' Association, the Munich Secession and the Association of West German Artists. Literature: Internet
