Louis Christian Hess

Louis Christian Hess was an Austrian painter and sculptor of the German Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) during the 1920s. In 1915 Hess exhibited his first works - drawings, tempera and engravings - at the "Turn und Taxishof Galerie" in Innsbruck. After the war, from 1919 to 1924 he attended the Bayerische Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich, in the class of Prof. C. Becker-Gundhal. In 1920 Hess attended the first collective exhibition "Ausstellung Junger Münchner - Graphische Kunstwerkstätten" in Munich presented by George Jacob Wolf. In 1928 he became close to Max Beckmann until his exile. Hess participated in the "Sommer Ausstellung des Deutschen Künstler Verbandes AUFBAU - E. V." in Munich and some of his paintings were shown in Berlin. In 1929 he joined the "Juryfreie" movement, becoming its leader until his ban in 1933 by the National Socialist regime. The artistic ostracism practised by Nazism moved Hess to a voluntary exile.
