Gisbert Palmie Drawing, 1958

About the Item

An interesting figurative colored chalks, charcoal drawing by Gisbert Palmie. A noted "anti-modernist" whose works were collected by leading Nazis including Hitler. Gisbert Palmie (1897-1986) born in Munich, was the son of the Bavarian landscape painter Charles J. Palmie and the flower painter Marie Palmie. Palmie studied at the Munich Art Academy, where he attended the courses of Ludwig von Herterich and Adolf Hengeler. The theme of his painting was mostly full-length portraits (later also of officers and soldiers). Palmie became well known in the 1930s with portraits of industrial leaders and especially with 'Aryan-style' women's portraits; he was a representative of the anti-modernism. During one of his visits to Garmisch-Partenkirchen he also portrayed the aged Richard Strauss. In 1934 Palmie took part in the 'Grosse Münchener Kunstaustellung' with his works 'Rot und Blau' and 'Portrait im Süd'. In 1935 he participated again in the same exhibition,which was also called 'Neue Pinakothek Glaspalast-Ausstellung', with his work 'Das Blaue Buch'. In 1942 he took part in the 'Münchener Kunstausttellung, Maximilianeum'. In the Great German Art Exhibitions Palmie was represented with 23 works. They were bought for prices of up to 22,000 RM by Hitler (2), Joseph Goebbels, Reichsleiter Franz Xaver Schwarz and the City of Munich. The monumental painting 'Segen der Arbeit', bought by Hitler, is in the possession of the Deutsches Historisches Museum. 'Vor der Schlacht', also bought by Hitler, is currently in the possession of the US Army Center of Military History, Washington, DC. The GDK work 'Im Winde', bought by the City of Munich, is owned by the Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus, Munich.Maximilianeum '.

During the war Palmie was stationed with a company of war correspondents in Munich; later he served in a unit which supplied military hospitals in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (where he stayed until 1957). After the war Palmie was commissioned by American officers to paint numerous portraits. In 1957 he immigrated to Atlanta (Georgia). In America Gisbert Palmie made a name again as a portrait painter of prominent persons. He painted, amongst others, president John F. Kennedy, president Lyndon B. Johnson, US General S. Patton and in 1956 Grace Kelly (Princess of Monaco), after her marriage to Prince Rainier III of Monaco. In 1959 he also portraited Sam Rayburn, 'Speaker of the House of Representatives' in the USA from 1940 to 1961; the painting was part of former President Lyndon B. Johnson's personal collection. Gisbert Palmie died in 1986 in Murnau, Germany. The monumental painting 'Segen der Arbeit' ('Rewards of Work', GDK 1939 room 21) was displayed the exhibition 'Aufstieg und Fall der Moderne', Weimar, 1999. It was again displayed at the exhibition '21 rue La Boétie ', Maillol Museum, Paris, 2017.
