Life and Artistic Career
Guido Hebert was a German painter born in Dresden. He studied painting at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts under Otto Gussmann. During his time at the academy, he was part of a revolutionary group of artists in Dresden that included figures such as Ludwig Godenschweg, Hans Grundig, Eugen Hoffmann, Wilhelm Lachnit, and Kurt Schütze. Driven by a desire to encounter the works of the Italian Renaissance, Hebert traveled to Italy alongside Grundig, Schütze, and Fritz Skade. His artistic output included landscapes and portraits.
Hebert was a member of the Reich Chamber of Fine Arts and exhibited his work in various locations. His residence was listed in the Dresden address book at Sachsenplatz 2. In 1937, five of his paintings were confiscated and destroyed by the National Socialists as part of the "Degenerate Art" campaign. Following this, there are no further recorded exhibitions of his work.
Notable Works and Exhibitions
The artist's catalog includes several works, such as a still life from around 1930. Other works associated with his name include My Brother and Still Life. Several pieces were part of the "Degenerate Art" exhibitions in cities like Nuremberg, Dortmund, and Munich between 1933 and 1937, including Double Portrait, Still Life, My Brother, Self-Portrait, and Two Girls, all of which were destroyed.
Hebert participated in various exhibitions, including:
