Otto Pankok (6 June 1893 – 10 October 1966) was a German painter, printmaker, and sculptor. ==Biography== He was born in Mülheim on the Ruhr. In 1912 he began his formal training as an artist at the Art Academies in Düsseldorf and Weimar. After only a few months he left the Weimar Academy, where his teachers were Fritz Mackensen and Albin Egger-Lienz, and went on a study trip to the Netherlands with Werner Gilles. Afterwards (1914), he spent two months in Paris, where he attended the Académie russe and the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. Between 1914-1917 he was a soldier in France in World War I. Returning to Düsseldorf in 1919, he was a founder of the "Junge Rheinland" (Young Rhineland) group. With Otto Dix, Gert Heinrich Wollheim, and Adolf Uzarski, among others, he was one of the painters championed by the art dealer Johanna Ey. In 1921 he married the journalist Hulda Droste. When Hitler came to power in 1933, Pankok was declared a degenerate artist. Subsequently, 56 of his pictures were seized from museums, some of which were included in the infamous exhibition ''Entartete Kunst'' (Degenerate Art), mounted by the Nazis in Munich in 1937. Following the war (from 1947 to 1958) he was a professor at the Academy of Arts in Düsseldorf, where Günter Grass was among his students. Except in the years of the Nazi regime, Pankok traveled extensively and painted on his journeys. He died in Wesel. 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「Otto Pankok」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
