1895 - 1972

A Life of Artistic Expression and Teaching

Born in Frankfurt, Germany, Ernst Geitlinger was a painter and university teacher who navigated a complex era of German art history. His formal education included studies at the National Academy of Design in New York and later at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich, where he studied under Karl Caspar from 1922 to 1931. Geitlinger’s career was marked by significant institutional involvement; he was a member of the Deutschen Künstlerbund, the Neuen Sezession, and the Juryfreien. Following the rise of the Nazi regime, he became a member of the Reichskammer der bildenden Künste. His work faced severe opposition when his art was classified as "entartete" (degenerate), leading to an exhibition ban and the destruction of his 1932 watercolor landscape by the Reichskunstkammer.

Legacy and Academic Influence

Despite the challenges of his early career, Geitlinger remained a vital figure in the German art scene. He was a co-founder of the Münchner Künstlervereinigung Neue Gruppe in 1946 and served on the board of the Deutschen Künstlerbund from 1952 to 1967. His influence extended deeply into the realm of education; he held a professorship at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste München and was described by the writer Janosch as a "great teacher." Geitlinger’s personal philosophy regarding art emphasized emotional resonance over traditional mastery, famously suggesting that a single red dot that brings joy to the soul holds more value than a masterpiece like a Rubens. His written estate is preserved in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nürnberg.
