William Wauer
Oberwiesenthal/Erzgebirge 1866 - Berlin 1962
In 1884 after he had completed his secondary school education in Dresden and Halle, William Wauer, son of a Thuringian clergyman, registered at the Dresden academy to study art. Later he transfered to the academies in Berlin and Munich.
From 1888 a very intensive and eventful part of his life followed, during which the artist lived in San Francisco, New York, Vienna, Rome, Leipzig, Dresden and other places. He worked as a publisher, art critic, feature editor and illustrator, published the monthly journal `Quickborn` and spent some time as head of the advertising department of Lingner-Werke in Dresden where he developed a famous advertising campaign for `Odol` mouthwash.
From 1900 William Wauer devoted more and more of his time to the theater. From 1905 he attended the directing class of the Berlin theater school and in 1911 sucessfully directed Herwarth Walden`s pantomime `Die vier Toten der Fiametta`. William Wauer`s directing work is one of the first highlights of the the theater work performed by the art group `Der Sturm`, which Wauer joined in 1912.
From that year Wauer also worked as film director: `Richard Wagner` was made in 1913, `Der Tunnel` in 1914-15 and `Peter Lump` in 1916. Alongside his work as a director for film and theater, the versatile artist William Wauer also dedicated himself to fine art.
In 1918 he first contributed some of his own sculptures to the 61st exhibition of the gallery `Der Sturm`. William Wauer`s most famous works are his portraits - H. Walden`s bust is an incunable of Expressionist statuary. William Wauer`s sculptures are marked by a dramatic rhythm of movement and an expressively moved, ornamental surface design. Until the gradual dissolution of the `Sturm` circle in 1924, Wauer also contributed to the `Sturm` journals, wrote books and worked at the `Sturm` art school.
In 1924 Wauer founded the `Internationale Vereinigung der Expressionisten, Kubisten, Futuristen und Konstruktivisten`, which he was head of until its ban in 1933. In 1941 the Nazis classified William Wauer`s art as `degenerate` and he was banned from working. After the war William Wauer`s sculptures, paintings and prints were regularly shown at exhibitions. He worked as a lecturer at the West-Berlin adult education center and was member of the board of the `Verband der Berliner Bildenden Künstler`.

William Wauer (1866–1962) was a German sculptor and film director of the silent era. In 1913 he co-directed the biopic Richard Wagner [de] (1913).[1] In 1915 he directed The Tunnel the first adaptation of Bernhard Kellermann`s science fiction novel Der Tunnel.

His birthplace is now the Wauer Museum.
Life

He was born in Oberwiesenthal on 26 October 1866 the son of a Lutheran minister, Canon Johann Carl Ernst Wauer and his wife Katharine Knobloch. He went to school in Dresden and Halle then attended the Academy of Art first in Dresden then in Berlin and Munich. He then travelled to America where he studied in San Francisco and New York for two years. He then returned to Germany to study Philosophy and Art History at the University of Leipzig.

From 1888 he worked as an art critic for the magazine `XX Jahrhundert` (20th Century). When radio came to Germany he began working in this field and began film-making in 1911.[2] His work was part of the sculpture event in the art competition at the 1928 Summer Olympics.[3]

The Nazis declared both his film and his sculpture as `degenerate art` putting an immediate end to both activities. Although he was allowed to continue these pursuits from 1945, the post-war spirit and economy did not embrace this, and the long break and huge changes in the new post-war world meant he did not resume his art to any meaningful degree. He did one portrait in this later period, an oil painting of Karl Hofer in 1947.

In 1949 he saw the creation of West Berlin as a western enclave within an otherwise communist regime, and in 1961 he was one of the many Berliners encircled by the Berlin Wall.

He died in West Berlin on 10 March 1962 and is buried in the Forest Cemetery in the Dahlem district. The grave is identified as a `grave of honour of the City of Berlin` exempting it from the German practice of erasing graves if relatives fail to maintain payments for upkeep.
