- Biography: Paul Citroen
Citroen was a painter, photographer, writer and teacher. His father, who came from Amsterdam, had a fur store in Berlin. lemon described the environment in which he grew up as civil. In the family much attention was given to art and culture, especially literature. Citroen started drawing a lot early in his life. This was encouraged by his parents. Citroen studied at the Kunsthochschule in Berlin. After working in a bookshop for some time, Citroen was approached by Herwart Walden, owner of the famous gallery Der Sturm, to set up an art bookshop. Here he also became acquainted with the leaders of the Berlin Dada movement, including George Grosz, Walter Mehring and John Heartfield. He was educated at the Bauhaus in Weimar when he was 24 years old and was taught by, among others, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky and Johannes Itten. The latter in particular had a profound and lasting influence on him. During this time, Citroen made its first photo collages, of which Metropolis, made especially for a Bauhaus exhibition, from 1923, became the most famous. After a short stay in Switzerland and Paris, Citroen settled in Amsterdam in 1927 where he had his first photo exhibition. For a short period of his life, from 1929 to 1935, he was intensively involved in photography. Citroen's photos are characterized by a loose, casual style. Influences from his Bauhaus years and collaboration with Blumenfeld are unmistakably present here. Citroen paid little attention to the usual photographic rules. He regularly cut out his negatives and was not afraid of blur. In photography, however, he missed the physical relationship with the material that he felt when painting or drawing. Together with the painter Charles Roelofsz, he founded the New Art School, which was oriented towards the bauhaus, in 1933, which eventually had to close in 1937 due to lack of money. From 1937 to 1960, with an interruption during the war years, Citroen was a teacher at the art academy in The Hague. He has made a major contribution to the renewal of drawing education. Little influence from the Bauhaus period can be found in his drawings and paintings that originated in the Netherlands. Despite all the landscapes and still lifes he made in his visual work, Paul Citroen is above all a portraitist. He left about 7,000 portraits, photographed, painted and above all drawn.
