The German artist Helmut Kolle lived at the end of the early 20th century and, despite his early death at the age of 32, had left a formative impression on European modernism with his works. Born in Berlin in 1899 as the son of the well-known bacteriologist, Kolle moved with his family to Frankfurt am Main after his father returned from the war. Here Kolle took drawing lessons with Erna Pinner. In 1918 the young Kolle met the art dealer and critic Wilhelm Uhde. The successful Uhde had already opened a gallery in Montparnasse in 1904 and is considered the discoverer of artistic geniuses such as Picasso, Braque and Rousseau. Uhde played a decisive role not only in his private life but also in the artistic career of Kolles. As a partner and patron, it was Uhde who honoured Kolle posthumously and wrote the young artist's first biography shortly after his death. Uhde's book well expressed Kolle's important work as a protagonist of European modernism who died far too early.
Kolle was not only active as a painter. He also developed his creative side in literature. As a writer he worked for the art and literature magazine "Die Freude", which was published by his friend Wilhelm Uhde. Since Kolle was successful in both activities, he decided to publish his paintings under a pseudonym. As a painter he exhibited under the name Helmut vom Hügel. The name Kolle comes from the Latin word "colle", which can be translated as hill. In 1922 Kolle moved with Uhde to his native city Berlin, where his works were shown in his first exhibitions.
A little-known early work by Kolles is the painting entitled "Two Children, a Cat and a Bird". Kolle succeeded, without any obsession with detail, in giving the light-flooded scene a spatial illusion hidden behind the pastel two-dimensionality. In subtle colours and with just a few strokes of the pen Kolle creates a dreamy atmosphere. Due to his abilities he is often referred to the Fauvists. Fauvism played with the poetic possibility of painting, driven by the artist's imagination. Kolle did not use rationally deducible spatial illusions, but was able to create simple compositions of colours and shapes of extraordinary beauty with cubistically reduced forms.
However, the Berlin art scene at the time was influenced by Max Liebermanns impressionist art and reacted tentatively to Kolles' works. Together with his partner, Kolle therefore moved to the art metropolis of Paris in 1924. Here his playful way of dealing with colors and motifs was finally appreciated. Kolle's painting was popular with both the press and the public. French collectors and museums bought works by the German painter. Even before his career could gain momentum, Kolle fell ill with a serious lung and heart infection. He died at the young age of 32 in Chantilly in the presence of his long-time private and artistic companion Uhde.
