Walter Gramatte

Walter Gramatte (1897 - 1929) is known for Painting.

Born in January of 1897, like many members of his generation Walter Gramatté went to Germany's Western Front as a volunteer in 1914. At that time, at the age of 17, he was at the very beginning of his artistic career, which - like his entire life - would be shaped by the fundamental experience of the war. In 1927 in the journal “Die Horen”, Gramatté's friend the writer Hermann Kasack wrote: “When Gramatté began, war reigned. That was not without significance for the artistic and human awakening of the self. At the beginning of his life stands not a marveling at the world, but outrage, horror, fear. This burdened and defined the underlying tone of the period.” (Die Horen, Monatshefte für Kunst und Dichtung, no. VI, Berlin 1927/1928). It is no coincidence that Gramatté's early drawings from the years 1914 to 1916 are closely based on the work of Max Beckmann: he admired him as a painter early on, and he lived and worked in his studio home in Berlin-Hermsdorf   ...  [Displaying 1000 of 1838 characters.]  Artist bio
