About the Item

Georg Alfred Stockburger Wankheim 1907 - 1986 Tübingen Still life, around 1930 Oil on canvas Monogrammed lower right Size: 100 x 70 cm Frame: 114 x 85 cm Elaborately framed In the summer semester of 1925, Stockburger began studying medicine at the University of Tübingen at the request of his father. In this first semester he also took a course at the drawing institute of the university. The young self-portrait from 1925 was created at this institute. It is the oldest surviving picture by Stockburger. The university drawing teacher Heinrich Seufferheld recognized his talent as a painter and encouraged him to do his first work. In the autumn of this year, at the decisive advocacy of his mother and against the promise made to his father that he would go to school as a teacher after completing his artistic training, he switched to the Stuttgart Art Academy. Here he studied with Hans Spiegel, Robert Breyer, Alexander Eckener and Gottfried Graf, among others. The Swiss painter Heinrich Altherr, who was also director of the Stuttgart Academy for some time, became his mentor and most important role model of this time. In 1928, on the recommendation of the jurors Karl Hofer and Emil Nolde, pictures by Georg Alfred Stockburger were exhibited in an exhibition of the German Association of Artists in Hanover. Stockburger was a member of the Stuttgart Secession, since 1929 also the Stuttgart New Secession and the so-called "Stuttgart Jury Free". Stockburger pictures were exhibited several times in Stuttgart and Berlin. In the same year he broke off his art studies, went to Berlin and tried to establish himself there as a freelance artist. Here he followed his role models Käthe Kollwitz, Ernst Barlach and above all Edvard Munch, whose strongly emotionally charged expressionism corresponded to his own artistic desire. The difficulties in establishing himself as a freelance artist in Berlin, health problems and the social and political upheavals after Adolf Hitler's seizure of power in Berlin led to the decision to go back to Stuttgart in 1934. Stockburger persistently refused to enter the National Socialist, harmonized Reich Chamber of Culture. Against the Nazi cultural program, which called for a propagandistic, heroic pseudo-classicism, Stockburger determined his artistic task as follows: "I have a leitmotif in my will: Duty to truth, because truth is beauty." As an opponent of National Socialism, he also lost in Stuttgart all work and exhibition opportunities and was disqualified as a degenerate artist. Due to the current political situation, Stockburger gave up painting as a profession and, at the age of 27, continued his medical studies in Tübingen and temporarily in Munich. As an artist, Stockburger went into internal emigration, unlike Reinhold Nägele, who was well known to him as a colleague in the secession and who emigrated to the USA in 1939. After Hitler Germany began the war against Poland on September 1, 1939, Stockburger was drafted as a medical sergeant shortly before completing his doctorate and medical studies. During a special leave of absence in the winter of 1939/1940, he finished his medical studies in Tübingen and received his license to practice medicine on December 23, 1940. In June 1940 he was stationed in the Metz area during the western campaign. There he got involved with the French population and set up an epidemic hospital. On September 18, 1941, he married the Tübingen photographer Lore Eppensteiner, born Henke. On January 21, 1941, he received his doctorate with the dissertation The Satisfaction of Vitamin Requirements through Food. Ten days later he was posted to the Eastern Front in northern Russia as a doctor in a pioneer unit. Here he accompanied this unit as it marched into the Tikhvin area and saw the indescribable suffering that was inflicted on the civilian population at the time. "During this time he looked after many sick Russians, in whom he saw not enemies but defenseless people." blind Russian with a wooden leg, with whom he was quartered, and who was shot by the German soldiers on the retreat. ”He recorded this infinite suffering in numerous fleeting sketches. After this unit was disbanded, he was given the medical command of a hospital train until the end of the war. He transported wounded soldiers from the front back to the German Reich. After emergency operations, amputations or the issuing of death certificates, he often retired to his compartment for a few hours and carved impressive figures of Russian women and men out of the wood of railway sleepers, as he could not paint on the train. The war in Russia became Stockburger's trauma that accompanied him throughout his entire life as an artist and also in his biographical life. On May 2, 1945 Stockburger fell into French captivity in Hard near Bregenz and was interned in Lindau.
