Hermann Josef Mispelbaum is a German painter, graphic artist and sculptor.
He studied applied art, painting and drawing at the Werkkunstschule Aachen under Ernst Wille. He then studied free art at the Düsseldorf Art Academy from 1971 to 1976 and became a master student and assistant to Rupprecht Geiger. During this time, he received a scholarship from the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes (German National Academic Foundation) from 1974 to 1975 and travel scholarships for England and Italy from the C. Rudolf Poensgen Foundation, Düsseldorf, from 1975 to 1976.
In 1977 and 1978 he received a teaching assignment for painting and drawing at the Düsseldorf Art Academy. From 1978 to 2007 he finally worked as a freelance artist in Düsseldorf. In 1990 he was awarded the Villa Romana Prize, Florence, which enabled him to spend ten months in Florence.
Since 1974 Mispelbaum has worked as a freelance artist in the field of drawing, achieving a path of his own. He has worked with great intensity, preferably with graphite pencils of various hardnesses in large and small formats on paper. Mispelbaum creates collages with scissors and knife, cuts figures and parts of figures out of drawings. He inserts these into other drawings, works on them further and mixes them with colour, which is often grey or black.
Around the turn of the century he began to create sculptures from cardboard and plaster with objects partly worked into the plaster.
Hermann Josef Mispelbaum was a member of the Deutscher Künstlerbund as well as the Westdeutscher Künstlerbund.
Mispelbaum has shown his works in numerous solo and group exhibitions at home and abroad. His works can be found in many public collections.
Hermann Karl Hesse was a German-Swiss poet, novelist, and painter, known for delving into themes of authenticity, self-knowledge, and spirituality. Born in Calw, Germany, Hesse's exploration of the individual's quest for truth won him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1946. His storytelling weaves a rich tapestry of philosophical thought, evident in masterpieces like "Steppenwolf" and "Siddhartha," which resonate deeply with the human experience.
Renowned for his lyrical prose and profound insights into the human spirit, Hesse's works are a cornerstone of 20th-century literature. They challenge readers to seek beyond the confines of society and find a deeper sense of self. His narrative style combines simplicity with a deep philosophical undercurrent, inviting reflection and introspection.
Collectors and connoisseurs of literature hold Hesse's works in high esteem, not just for their literary merit but also for their cultural significance. For those interested in the evolution of literary thought and the pivotal role of introspective narratives, Hesse’s works are invaluable. Delve into his writings to discover the essence of early 20th-century philosophical literature and consider adding them to your collection for both their historic and artistic value.
