Helmuth Macke

Helmuth Macke was a German painter. He was a cousin of the painter August Macke and his artistic style ranged between constructivism and abstraction.

Helmuth Macke studied from 1906 to 1909 under the Dutch artist Jan Thorn-Prikker at the Krefeld School of Crafts and Applied Arts, now the Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences.
His classmates included Heinrich Campendonk and Walter Giskes, with whom he shared a studio from 1908. In 1909, he met Franz Marc at Lake Tegernsee. Marc not only introduced him to the members of the New Artists' Association in Munich, but also let him use his summer apartment in Sindelsdorf in 1910.

From 1910 to 1911, he was in contact with the Blue Rider circle and, in 1912, he also got to know the members of Die Brücke through Erich Heckel in Berlin. His paintings Badende (Bathers) and Liebesgarten (Garden of Love) were exhibited at the First German Autumn Salon in Berlin in 1913. From 1925 to 1933, he lived in Krefeld and Bonn and was in close contact with Heinrich Campendonk and Wilhelm Wieger.

In 1930, he took a break to spend several months in Ascona, where he met Christian Rohlfs and Marianne von Werefkin, with whom he worked closely. In August 1930, he dedicated a Ticino landscape to the daughter of Alfred Mayer, a patron of the Blue Rider circle. In the spring of 1931, Helmuth Macke was expelled from Switzerland as a “commercial foreigner” because he had sold some of his watercolors. He then returned to Krefeld. There he created the Blue Room for the industrialist Karl Gröppel (see Westfalia Dinnendahl Gröppel), which was rediscovered in 2012 and, after restoration, was exhibited in the Villa Goecke in Krefeld.

Helmuth Macke was a member of the German Artists' Association. In the summer of 1929, he took part in the DKB annual exhibition at the Staatenhaus in Cologne, where he showed a portrait of a girl and a dune landscape. In the same year, Macke received the Rome Prize from the Villa Massimo. During his stay in Rome, he associated with Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Georg Schrimpf, and Heinrich Ehmsen.

From 1933, he lived in Hemmenhofen on Lake Constance, where he drowned during a sailing trip on September 8, 1936.
