Life and Artistic Training
Rudolf Hause was a German painter born in Strasburg an der Drewenz, Westpreußen. After spending his youth in Genthin, in what is now Saxony-Anhalt, he began his formal artistic education at the Mal- und Zeichenschule of Ernest Blanc-Garin in Brussels. His training continued in Munich at the Mal- und Zeichenschule of the Academy of Fine Arts under Moritz Weinhold. Following his studies, he moved to Karlsruhe to attend the Staatliche Akademie der Bildenden Künste under Ludwig Schmid-Reutte, graduating in 1903.
Returning to Munich, Hause established himself as an independent artist. He became a member of the Munich Secession in 1919, eventually serving as its secretary from 1946 to 1954. He was also a member of the "Freie Vereinigung Chiemgauer Künstler," known as "Welle," which planned exhibitions on the Herreninsel and later at a wooden pavilion in Stock near the Chiemsee.
Artistic Style and Works
Hause primarily produced oil paintings characterized by impressionistic and realistic styles. His subject matter focused on landscapes and group portraits, many of which were painted outdoors. His work was exhibited in various venues, including the Glaspalast and the Haus der Kunst in Munich.
His notable works include:
His paintings were held by the Bavarian State Painting Collections in Munich and were featured in publications such as Westermanns Monatsheften and Jugend.
