1842 - 1920
August Lohr (1842-1920) wasn’t merely a painter; he was an architect of experience, crafting immersive panoramic scenes that transported viewers to distant lands and momentous events. Born in Munich, Germany, into a family of soapmakers, his artistic journey began at the Academy of Fine Arts, where he honed his skills under Carl Theodor von Piloty, laying the foundation for his distinctive style. Lohr’s career unfolded across two continents – initially in the bustling art scene of Munich, and then, dramatically, in the burgeoning American panorama industry, a period marked by rapid industrialization and a thirst for spectacle.
Lohr's early work focused on capturing the dramatic landscapes of Bavaria and Switzerland. These meticulously rendered scenes, characterized by crisp detail and a keen eye for light and shadow, established his reputation as a skilled landscape painter. However, it was his move to America in 1885 that truly defined his legacy. Drawn by the promise of opportunity and fueled by a desire to contribute to this rapidly expanding frontier, Lohr joined forces with William Wehner, establishing the American Panorama Company in Milwaukee. This venture marked a significant shift – Lohr transitioned from individual landscapes to large-scale, theatrical experiences designed to engage entire audiences.
The panorama craze gripped America during the late 19th century, fueled by technological advancements and a growing desire for accessible entertainment. These enormous painted canvases, often stretching over 30 feet in diameter, were mounted on rotating drums, allowing viewers to slowly circle the scene and take in the vast expanse of detail. Lohr’s role within this industry was multifaceted: he not only created individual panels that comprised the panorama but also managed the logistical complexities of installation, ensuring the seamless integration of his artwork into these immersive environments.
Lohr's contributions extended beyond mere painting; he played a crucial role in shaping the aesthetic and narrative of the American panoramas. He frequently depicted iconic locations – Mexico City’s Chapultepec Castle, the dramatic landscapes of Pico de Orizaba and Iztaccihuatl volcanoes – capturing their grandeur with remarkable accuracy and evocative detail. His work was particularly sought after for its ability to convey a sense of scale and immediacy, transporting viewers to places they could only dream of visiting.
Lohr’s artistic style is characterized by a meticulous attention to detail, a strong sense of perspective, and a masterful use of color. He employed a technique known as “hard-edge painting,” favoring sharply defined shapes and clear outlines – a deliberate choice that enhanced the illusion of depth within the panoramic format. His landscapes are imbued with a sense of realism, yet also possess an underlying romanticism, reflecting the spirit of exploration and discovery that characterized the American West.
His work was influenced by several sources: the German tradition of battle panoramas, which he had honed in Munich; the works of American landscape painters like Albert Bierstadt and Frederic Church, who captured the grandeur of the American wilderness; and, crucially, the demands of the panorama industry itself – a need for clarity, detail, and an ability to convey vast distances within a limited space.
Lohr’s time in America proved to be both fruitful and challenging. He established himself as a respected artist within the panorama industry, overseeing the creation of several major installations. However, he also faced financial difficulties and ultimately left Milwaukee for Mexico in 1890, seeking new opportunities and inspiration. He continued to paint landscapes there, capturing the vibrant colors and dramatic scenery of the region.
Despite a relatively quiet later life, August Lohr’s contribution to American art history is undeniable. He was a pioneer in the development of the panorama as a popular form of entertainment, and his meticulously rendered landscapes continue to captivate viewers with their scale, detail, and evocative power. His work stands as a testament to the transformative potential of art – its ability to transport us beyond our immediate surroundings and offer glimpses into distant worlds.

Kunstiteoste või reproduktsioonide puhul, mille üks külg on üle 105 cm (umbikmolt 41 tolli), saadetakse raam kirjal asendis, la Dismantlitud komplektina. See meetod tagab ohutuse kohaletoimetamisel ja väldib transpordil tekkivaid kahjustusi.
Vajalik professionaalne kokkupanek – see ei ole isetegevusega valmistamiseks mõeldud toode.
Komplekt tuleb kokku panna ja lõvet pingutada kogemusega professionaalse raamija, kasutades puiduliim (ei kuulu komplekti), lõvetpingi ja klempe, et hoida raami kande mustad õigena liimi kuivamisaja jooksul. Vale kokkupanek või ebaühtlane lõvetping võib kunstiteost püsivalt kahjustada ning seda
Kaasatud on kõik tahked puidust liistud, täpselt lõigatud vastavaks suuruseks.
Kokku panemiseks kasutatakse lisatud kruvisid ning nurkade liimamiseks vajalikku puuliima, mida ei ole komplektis ja mida peab raamivalmistaja ise hankima.
Vajalik on kasutada professionaalseid tööriistu, mis ei kuulu komplekti: lõvetelapide pingist (pingutaja) ja klambreid, et hoida raami puidu nurgas õigena liimi kuivamisaja jooksul.
Oluline:
Nurgaliimamiseks on vaja puiduliim, liimimine peab toimuma klempide all kuni liim on täielikult kuivanud ning kokku monteeritud raami kanga pingutamiseks on vajalik kanga pingutustang. Kumbki neist ei kuulu komplekti. Palun veenduge enne selle suuruse tellimist, et teil on saadaval kogenud professionaalne raamistaja.
