Franz Wilhelm Maria Deutmann ( *27 March 1867, Zwolle – †18 July 1915, Blaricum) was a Dutch painter and photographer. He was a member of Arti et Amicitiae and is considered to be part of the Laren School, an offshoot of the Hague School, which is an independent part of the international movement of impressionism.〔The independence begins with the choice of the themes, the colors and the dutch eyes of the interpretation.〕 == Biography == His father was Franz Wilhelm Heinrich Deutmann (1840–1906), a well known photographer. He studied painting with Jan Derk Huibers (1829–1919), a genre artist. After a brief stay in Germany in 1884, he enrolled at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (Antwerp) from 1884 to 1887. During his studies at the academie he was a student of Prof. Charles Verlat. In 1891, due to financial difficulties, he returned to Amsterdam and took a position in his father's photography studio.〔(Biographical notes ) @ De Valk Lexicon kunstenaars Laren-Blaricum〕 By 1896, he had established himself as an artist and opened his own studio. Many of his works from this period have a sad feeling to them, and it is possible that he was suffering from depression. In 1892 he moved to the artists' colony in Laren.〔From the perspective of the art historian he belonged to the 2nd generation of this school. His Œuvre can be assigned to the Hague School of the first generation.〕 Plein air painting in the company of his fellow artists seems to have cheered him up. His portraits and figures were more colorful and lightly rendered, although his interiors still had a touch of melancholy. After a few years his depression returned again and he stayed in his studio, doing still-lifes of flowers.〔〔The rediscovery of still-life as subject belongs to the Amsterdam Impressionism.〕 His work was not as successful as most of his associates of the Laren School. After 1903, he went back to Amsterdam, but stayed there for only one year. Then he retired to Blaricum and lived in a house named "Heide-Weide" (Heide Meadows), which was later occupied by several other well-known artists and writers.〔 After a long illness he died at this place in the year 1915, aged only forty-eight. Franz Deutmann has been a menber of the Arti et Amicitiae and of the Kunstenaarsvereniging Sint Lucas. His brother, Herman Deutmann, was also a photographer; well known for his portraits of the Royal Family. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Franz Deutmann」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
