The Historical Evolution of Dü sseldorf Art Institute

Dü sseldorf College was founded in 1773 by presidential elector Karl Theodore. This is a regional college located in Pfalcz, focusing on painting, sculpture and architecture. 18 19, she became the Royal Prussian Academy of Art in Rhine. Now she is an open right-wing organization and a public institution in North Rhine-westfalen.

Dü sseldorf College is a university of arts and artists. On June 30, 2008, this theme was established in the basic rules and regulations, and the old college statutes of 1777 and 183 1 were continued to be implemented. Established the related science of art maintenance and development.

Artistic activities produce the meaning of free art. Besides painting, sculpture and free-form graphics, the artistic direction in the college also includes architectural art, stage art, photography, movies and videos. Therefore, it also ensures the high artistry, diversity and internationalization of the art college.

This concept has been very successful for many years. The college is a university, and its artists (professors and graduates) enjoy a high national and international reputation. As early as the19th century ("Dü sseldorf Painting Academy"), many of the most famous artists graduated from the University of Dü sseldorf, Germany. Since the 1950s, Dü sseldorf Art Institute has maintained an equally important position in contemporary art ... which is also reflected by participating in highly authoritative international exhibitions (such as Venice Biennale). Today, in the "Wuzhou Art Institute" in Dü sseldorf, teachers and students come from all over the world. The artists in this college represent the contemporary international art stage, and many artists have become the most famous protagonists in its international art stage.

Since 1773

The Art Institute was founded in 1773, named "Painters, Sculptors and Architectural Arts Elect Pfalcz Institute". Its predecessor was the painting school founded by Lambert Clogher (17 12 to 1790) around 1762. Due to the lack of institutional funds, John Petro Peter Langer, dean of the college, moved from Hondheim Palace, the former site of the school, to Franciscan monastery in Dü sseldorf. After 1806, the Berg era in the Grand Duchy began to decline gradually. At least three teachers work in the college, including Ernst Karl gottlieb Trott. The famous gallery in Dü sseldorf, located in Pfalcz-Neuburg, became an institution to promote ethnic exchanges in 1805 and 1806, in which Royal Prussia also participated. In the process of moving from Dusseldorf to Munich, Dusseldorf lost its role in integrating into the capital of Prussia, and the Prussian government decided to re-establish the old art institute as the Royal Prussian Art Institute as compensation. Friedrich William III announced this founding clause on March 9, 2009. On the recommendation of Basor Degeorge NiBirs, Peter Von Cornelius (18 19 10) was appointed as the first dean. He received professional training under the guidance of his father, john cleese Christian alois Cornelius, Peter von, who was a painter and senior gallery official. He lived in Lukasbrueder in Rome from 18 1 1, and his teaching career began at 1822. Conigli Uss is committed to introducing sketch art and the prospect of grand and large-scale painting in the college.

1824, Cornelius, Peter von and many of his students went to Munich Art Institute, where he had his admirer, Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig, because there were better opportunities to develop grand large-scale paintings and provide higher dean's salary. After a period of uncertainty, Friedrich Wilhelm von Schadow (1788-1862) from Berlin became the new dean. Some of his students in Berlin followed him to study and live in Dü sseldorf. Karl vom Stein zum Altenstein, Prussian Minister of Culture, chose Shado because he is a famous portrait painter. At that time, with the rise of bourgeois society, painters trained by art colleges began to accept painting commissions, especially portraits and board paintings. Under the leadership of Shado (until 1859), the college has developed into a world-famous institution. They have been adhering to the idea of "Dü sseldorf School of Painting" since 1930s, and have been developing in the range of teachers and students in colleges and universities, especially landscape painting, including genre painting. At that time, the painting school enjoyed an excellent reputation, and many artists from Scandinavia, Russia and the United States came to Dü sseldorf to study. After the fire broke out in the Dusseldorf Palace (the original site of the newly established college), the safe harbor on the north side of the old town of Dusseldorf was rebuilt from 1875 to 1879, which is a new Italian Renaissance historical building designed by Herman Refaat.

From 19 18 to 19 19, under the leadership of Fritz Robel, the Art Institute merged the Dü sseldorf Art Institute. The school is led by Peter Behrens, from 1904 to 1907. He studied at the Dü sseldorf Art Institute and was one of the founders of the German factory. He established and realized the new concept of architecture and design education. The combination of these two institutions makes the college open and develop as planned. In the first decade of the 20th century, Dü sseldorf Art Institute was the center of modernism. Specific directions, such as Rheinism Expressionism and Artists' Alliance, such as Ge Jun in Rheinism, have brought new impetus and created an innovative atmosphere. Students in the 1920s included Arnold Blake and Wilhelm Lehmbruck. During the Nazi period, some teachers, such as paul klee and ewald Mattler, were dismissed. Professor Werner Peiners moved to Krunbuk in Ayffre mountain area to work in painting, where he successfully founded the Hermann G?ring Painting Vocational School until the East German artist Willi Sitte appeared and took over the school. The specially built building here was designed by Emile Fallenkamp.

After 1945

After the war, the college was adjusted under the leadership of President ewald Mattler. Many students in this period later became teachers and students, such as joseph beuys, Owen Hiric and Gunter grass. In The Tin Drum, Glass called his classmate Herbert Zanes the late Mahler Michelle.

1958, the studio on the west side of the main building was successfully completed.

1959, Karl Otto Gotz took office in the college. His class included later famous painters gerhard richter, Sigmar Polk and Gothard Graubner.

In the turbulent sixties and seventies (68 years of sports and the spread of punk influenced Dusseldorf), the college experienced intense debate and reflection through many surfing parties and sports. For example,1Festum Fluxorum Fluxus, which was established in February and March 1963, or 197 19, which was established in June. There was also a fierce conflict between the university and Professor joseph beuys, and even a declaration of confrontation was written. In order to dismiss Boyce, johannes rau, as the Minister of Scientific Research, had a legal debate with Boyce, and he succeeded, because Boyce had occupied the school secretariat with opposition students. Later, in the 1960s, President Markus Luepertz was also expelled from the college.

As previously rumored, Dü sseldorf College has impressive buildings and spacious and huge studios, such as the rumored Room 20, and studied under Professor Boyce and artists such as Katharina Sieverding and bilic Palermo. Imi Collobert and Joerg Immendorff worked here before Collobert, Palermo and Immendorff got room 19.

There is also an important art school that came into being in the photography class of Bernd and Sheila Becher. It was founded by Bernd and Sheila Bernd & Bessel in 1976. The photography department founded by Sheila Becher has trained the most famous photographers in the international photography field, such as Thomas Ruff, Thomas Stru and andreas gursky. In 1980s, German artists led the return of figurative expressionism style. For example, the artist Anseim Kiefer is keen on excavating German history, while at the other end, there is a new school of wild animals with strong colors and extremely subjective creation. The next era tends to be less emotional and more objective, and photography will become the main medium for artists. At this time, Dü sseldorf Art College in Germany became one of the most important art colleges in Germany. Two teachers, Bernd and Sheila Becher, instilled systematic and regular creative methods into students. Students like Thomas Ruff, andreas gursky and Candia Hoff formed the Dü sseldorf School. In the study of German contemporary photography, it is praised by the experimental nature of German contemporary photography everywhere. Intense German photography is a hotbed of new ideas in contemporary photography. We also see that the Germanic photography system characterized by calmness and objectivity has gradually continued even in the august sander era. In the field of contemporary photography, the reason why photographers want to shoot a subject is not because of the appearance of the subject or the story itself, but because they express their discovery of the subject and show their understanding of the subject. The purpose is not to publish photos in the media, to convey and tell events, but more for artistic creation, just because this kind of creation is about people or things like "documentary". Photographers who studied here and eventually became famous included Candea Hoff, Thomas Shute, andreas gursky and Joerg Sasser (J? Rg Sasse), Thomas Struce, (Thomas Stru), Oliver Borberg, Erce Esser, thomas de Thorne, Miles Coolidge, etc. Among them, a photo of andreas gursky named Rhein II was sold at Christie's in new york on 20th1118th for 4.3 million dollars, making it the most expensive photo ever taken. Nowadays, "Dü sseldorf School of Painting" has become synonymous with high-level and exquisite photography.

After World War II, other important teachers included Professor Klaus Link, his teachers and students Reinhard Muka and Fritz Schwegler, and their students included thomas de Thorne. Gregor Schneider, Thomas Schuette, Katharina Fritsch, Professor Alfonso Hueppi and many of his interesting students, such as Dirk Skreber and Corinne Wasmuth, and the theorist Oswald Wiener.

In 1980s, there was a North Rhine-Westphalia Initiative, which was related to culture and politics. Established in 197 1, Cologne Factory School (now Cologne Media Art Institute) and Mü nster Art Institute became branches of Dü sseldorf Art Institute and were taken over by them.

In the college, I have known or recognized important works related to art history, such as Fat Corner in Room 3 of joseph beuys (now the professor's studio) and Room 19 of Yimi Kolobot (now located in Diabé ken, new york). The skylight device of Gerhard M in Room 30 1 North Tower of the College is the work of a living cactus by Klaus Link. Professors continue the tradition of using the college classroom not only as a classroom for students, but also as their own studio.

at present

The philosophy of the college is to give students the greatest freedom and artistic responsibility. Peter Doig, richard deacon (richard deacon/UK), Rita McBride (Rita McBride/USA) and.

Famous in the fields of arts and humanities, including Doulce Glenn Bain and Siegfried Goyle. At the end of each winter semester, the college invites the public to visit its annual exhibition. All classes show their works of art to the public. The quality of his works ranges from beginners' works to teachers' and students' works. Here, the audience will, as always, find some interesting works, although they are not 100% perfect. It is suggested that the audience put forward interesting defects in the work so that students can finish it better.

Since 2005, the Art Museum of Dussel Academy of Fine Arts, located near the Castle Square in Dusseldorf, has been open to the public, providing a space for professors and their former students of the Academy of Fine Arts to display their works, and has long been a collection of the Academy of Fine Arts. In order to commemorate the great success of the graduates of the photography class in Dü sseldorf Art Institute, andreas gursky, a student once taught by Becher and his wife, is now a professor at the institute. 20 13 10 Rita McBride announced in her speech when she became the new president that she would pay more attention to and invest in new media, so that the whole building could have wireless network function. In addition, the college also provides the latest 3D printing technology. The college will be more open than before.
