The artist and shipbuilding engineer Heinrich Emil Adametz is regarded by the museum as an outstanding representative of the Lost Generation. His life story throughout the twentieth century reads almost like a film script. From 1933 to 1945, Adametz was a member of the Reich Chamber of Fine Arts, part of the Nazi Reich Chamber of Culture, which gave him privileged access to painting materials and commissions. Unlike many other artists, particularly Jewish artists, he was not subject to a professional ban. In addition, until 1940, the trained decorative painter and interior designer worked as a draughtsman and designer for the Naglo shipyard. From an early age, he was fascinated by maritime and naval paintings, including Tall Ships on the High Seas (1927). The Self-Portrait with Pipe, by contrast, portrays him not as a shipbuilding engineer, but as an ageing, self-assured artist. During the Nazi era, Adametz led a double life: on the one hand, he was able to paint as a member of the Nazi Reich Chamber of Culture; on the other, he was married to Johanna, a Jewish woman (who, from 1937 onwards, was required to use the additional forename \u201cSara\u201d). They never divorced, meaning that their marriage was classified by the Nazi regime as a marriage to a person of Jewish descent (\u201cJewishly related\u201d). From 1944 onwards, the trail of the couple grows cold, as both were forced to move between various hiding places. After the end of the war, Adametz resumed his artistic career, but was unable to regain his former success. Tall Ships on the High Seas<\/em> aus dem Jahr 1927 geh\u00f6rt. Das Selbstportr\u00e4t mit Pfeife<\/em> hingegen zeigt ihn nicht als Schiffstechniker, sondern als gealterten, selbstbewussten K\u00fcnstler. W\u00e4hrend der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus f\u00fchrte Adametz ein Doppelleben: Zum einen konnte er als Teil der nationalsozialistischen Reichskulturkammer malen, zum anderen war er privat mit der J\u00fcdin Johanna (ab 1937 mit dem verpflichtenden Zweitnamen \u201eSara\u201c) verheiratet. Eine Scheidung fand nie statt, wodurch die Ehe als \u201ej\u00fcdisch versippt\u201c galt. Ab 1944 verliert sich die Spur des Paares, beide mussten sich in wechselnde Verstecke zur\u00fcckziehen. Nach Kriegsende nahm Adametz seine k\u00fcnstlerische T\u00e4tigkeit wieder auf, konnte jedoch nicht mehr an seine fr\u00fcheren Erfolge ankn\u00fcpfen.<\/p>\n
