{"id":4339,"count":0,"description":"K\u00e4te Schaller-H\u00e4rlin, n\u00e9e H\u00e4rlin, (* October 19, 1877 in Mangalore, Karnataka, India; \u2020 May 9, 1973 in Stuttgart-Rotenberg; full name: Katharina Maria Schaller-H\u00e4rlin) was a German painter known for her portraits, still lifes and monumental church paintings.\n\nH\u00e4rlin was the fourth of eight children of the Protestant pastor and missionary to India Emmerich H\u00e4rlin and his wife Anna H\u00e4rlin, n\u00e9e Nast. She grew up in Gruibingen. Her younger sister was the ceramist Dorkas Reinacher-H\u00e4rlin.\n\nH\u00e4rlin attended her uncle's secondary school in G\u00f6ppingen, the H\u00e4rlinsche T\u00f6chterinstitut. Around 1893, she began her studies at the Stuttgart School of Arts and Crafts under Magdalene Schweizer. At the W\u00fcrttembergischer Malerinnenverein she took lessons in nude drawing with Rudolf Yelin the Elder. From 1900 to 1904 she studied at the Damenakademie des M\u00fcnchner K\u00fcnstlerinnenvereins and published her first illustrations in the magazines Jugend and Meggendorfer Bl\u00e4tter. Her study trips took her to Italy and France.\n\nIn the summer semester of 1909, she took lessons with Adolf H\u00f6lzel at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart. In 1911, she married the Stuttgart art historian and art dealer Hans Otto Schaller, with whom she had a daughter, Sibylle. Hans Otto Schaller fell before Ypres in 1917.\n\nSchaller-H\u00e4rlin was primarily known as a portrait painter and was able to make a living and raise her daughter thanks to a large network. She painted portraits of many well-known personalities, including Theodor Heuss and Elisabeth Mann.\n\nIn 1944, her house and studio in Stuttgart were destroyed, whereupon she moved to Eschach. In 1950, she moved to the Villa Schaller on Rotenberg in Stuttgart, where she lived until her death. K\u00e4te Schaller-H\u00e4rlin continued to paint mainly still lifes into old age.\n\nTogether with the church architect Martin Elsaesser, she created wall and glass paintings for various Protestant churches in W\u00fcrttemberg, such as the Protestant parish church in Stuttgart-Gaisburg (1913), the Protestant Martinskirche in Oberesslingen (1918), the Protestant St. Blasius Church in Holzelfingen (1909), the Protestant Lutherkirche in Baden-Baden Lichtental (1907 and 1910) and the Eberhardskirche in T\u00fcbingen (1911).\n\nHer work includes illustrations, sacred wall and glass paintings, portraits, still lifes and landscape paintings. Giotto studies in Florence shaped her monumental painting style, which was based on Art Nouveau painting and was continually modernized through encounters with works by Henri Matisse, Maurice Denis and Paul C\u00e9zanne. As a woman, she played a key role in sacred wall and window design.\n\nK\u00e4te Schaller-H\u00e4rlin's grave is located in the Prague Cemetery in Stuttgart.","link":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/c\/artist-en-2\/kathe-harlin-en\/","name":"K\u00e4the H\u00e4rlin","slug":"kathe-harlin-en","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":1857,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/4339","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=4339"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
