Paul Theodore SCHWARZ 1907 / 1993:
Painter, born in Colmar on December 20, 1907, died in Colmar on April 22, 1993. Son of Albert Joseph Schwarz, schoolteacher, and Elisabeth Marie Sailé, daughter of the lithographer Théodore Sailé.
Handicapped from childhood by the aftereffects of scarlet fever which left him deaf and leg-impaired, Schwarz attended secondary school at the Bartholdi high school in Colmar while pursuing drawing and painting.
After three years at the Strasbourg School of Decorative Arts, where he studied under Georges Ritleng and Louis-Philippe Kamm, he worked briefly as an advertising illustrator.
From 1932 to 1937, he resumed his studies at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, under Lucien Simon and Jacques Beltrand, and was influenced by his fellow student Lucien Fontanarosa. He also attended the studio of Maurice Denis, whose theories would have a lasting impact on him. Returning to Colmar, he settled in the family home on Rue des Marchands and opened a private painting school. For Schwarz himself, this marked the beginning of a period of religious and secular compositions, portraits, still lifes, and fa
miliar landscapes: Colmar, Thannenkirch, Orbey, and Riquewihr, among others. After the war, he exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français (1949, 1951), at the Overseas France Exhibition (1950), at several Autumn Salons of Colmar artists (1951 to 1957), at the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts at the Grand Palais in Paris (1951), and finally, after a long hiatus, at the Bartholdi Museum in Colmar (1988).
Following the artist's death, the same museum presented a Paul Schwarz retrospective in 1994, and the Colmar municipal library exhibited a selection of watercolors in 1997.
From 1963 onwards, he made frequent and extended stays in Morocco, where he had first traveled in 1947.
He brought back a significant series of drawings from which he derived more elaborate canvases.
The Bartholdi Museum owns a series of his paintings, and the Colmar municipal library holds a collection of drawings and watercolors.
