The painter Hermann Stenner (1891-1914) was one of the outstanding
talents of the 20th century. It is impressive to note that he
achieved his rapid artistic development and distinct pictorial
language during just five years of study and creative work. His
remarkably extensive oeuvre is being rediscovered today following
his death at an early age during the First World War. Stenner was
born in Bielefeld and belonged to the circle of Westphalian
Expressionists as well as the "Hoelzel Circle". His career began
very promisingly. After attending the painting class at the Academy
of Fine Arts in Stuttgart, he transferred to Adolf Hoelzel and
became the latter's master student in 1912. The following year
Stenner was already participating in important exhibitions in
Germany and abroad; his works were shown beside those of artists
like Egon Schiele and Max Slevogt. In 1914, only a few months
before he died in the war, he executed the cycle of wall paintings
in the entrance hall of the Werkbund exhibition in Cologne - now
destroyed - together with Oskar Schlemmer and Willi Baumeister.
