{"id":14551,"count":0,"description":"Konrad Gustav S\u00fcs, also known as S\u00fc\u00df (June 10, 1823, in Rumbeck, now Hessisch Oldendorf; December 23, 1881, in D\u00fcsseldorf), was a German painter, illustrator, and children's book author. After attending high school in Rinteln, S\u00fcs studied at the Kassel Academy of Arts and later at the St\u00e4delschule in Frankfurt am Main under professors Johann David Passavant and Jakob Becker. To support himself, he wrote children's fairy tales, which he illustrated himself. These tales received great acclaim and were partly translated into English and French. He also became known for his illustrations of the Swinegel-Hare story.\n\nFrom 1848 to 1850, he painted studies and portraits in his hometown. From 1850, he lived in D\u00fcsseldorf, where he attended the Academy of Arts under Karl Ferdinand Sohn until 1851 and opened his own studio at J\u00e4gerhofstra\u00dfe No. 13 in 1854. In 1861, his son Wilhelm was born in D\u00fcsseldorf, who also became an artist. In the 1870s, S\u00fcs lived in the house of the factory owner M\u00fcller at Schadowstra\u00dfe 34 corner of Victoriastra\u00dfe and moved around 1875 to the house on Rosenstra\u00dfe 28, where he lived until his death.\n\nIn his paintings, S\u00fcs primarily depicted animals, mainly poultry. Many of his works, often rooted in humor, became widely disseminated through color prints and photography, such as the motifs \"The First Thought\" and \"The Chick Sermon.\" His images were sometimes accompanied by texts, creating illustrated fairy tales published in books like \"Swinegel's Travel Adventures\" or \"The Tale of a Nightingale.\"\n\nAmong S\u00fcs's private students were the German genre and portrait painter Hedwig Greve, the painter Maria S\u00fcs (presumably his daughter), who married the retiree Eduard M\u00fcller in 1881, and the Luxembourg portrait painter Th\u00e9r\u00e8se Glaesener-Hartmann.","link":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/c\/artist-en-2\/gustav-sues-en\/","name":"Gustav S\u00dcS","slug":"gustav-sues-en","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":1857,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/14551","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/1857"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=14551"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
