Biografie

Early Life and Education

Gerhard Marcks was born on February 18, 1889, in Berlin, Germany.
At the age of 18, he began an apprenticeship with sculptor Richard Scheibe, where he honed his skills in sculpting animals using terracotta.
He married Maria Schmidtlein in 1914 and together they raised six children.
Marcks served in the German army during World War I, an experience that significantly impacted his health for years to come.

Bauhaus Affiliation and Artistic Development

Following WWI, Marcks became involved with influential art groups like the Novembergruppe and the Arbeitsrat für Kunst, alongside artists such as Walter Gropius and Lyonel Feininger.
In 1919, he joined the faculty of the newly founded Bauhaus in Weimar, appointed as the Form Master of the pottery workshop. He collaborated with master potter Max Krehan, blending artistic vision with traditional craftsmanship.
During his time at the Bauhaus, Marcks explored woodcutting techniques, inspired by Feininger, and began creating works like “Die Katzen” (“The Cats”) and “Die Eule” (“The Owl”).
His artistic focus gradually shifted from animal forms to the human figure, a subject that would dominate his work for the remainder of his career.
He resigned from Bauhaus when it moved to Dessau in 1925, feeling its increasing emphasis on technology conflicted with his artistic principles.

Mid-Career and Challenges Under Nazism

Marcks took a teaching position at the Halle School of Arts and Crafts, dedicating himself to figurative sculpture.
His Expressionistic style became more subdued but retained emotional depth.
The rise of the Nazi regime brought significant challenges. He was dismissed from his post in 1933, and his work was labeled “degenerate” in 1937, leading to its inclusion in the infamous "Degenerate Art" exhibition in Munich.
Despite persecution, Marcks remained in Germany throughout World War II, making trips to Italy where he worked at Villa Romana in Florence and Villa Massimo in Rome.
His studio in Berlin was bombed during an air raid in 1943, resulting in the destruction of many artworks.

Later Life and Legacy

After WWII, Marcks became a professor of sculpture at the Landeskunstschule (Regional Art School) in Hamburg for four years before retiring to Cologne.
He designed numerous war memorials dedicated to soldiers and civilians.
Gerhard Marcks died on November 13, 1981, in Burgbrohl, Eifel, Germany.
The Gerhard Marcks Haus, a museum dedicated to his work, was established in Bremen, Germany, housing over 12,000 sketches, prints, and sculptures.
A significant collection of his works is also held at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, including the monumental bronze statue “Oedipus and Antigone”.
His work continues to be recognized for its expressive power, humanist themes, and contribution to modern sculpture.
