Paul Theodore SCHWARZ 1907 / 1993 :
Painter, born in Colmar on 20.12.1907, died in Colmar on 22.4.1993).
Son of Albert Joseph Schwarz, schoolteacher, and Élisabeth Marie Sailé, daughter of lithographer Théodore Sailé.
Handicapped as a child by the effects of scarlet fever, which left him deaf and with crippled legs, Schwarz studied at the Lycée Bartholdi in Colmar, while taking up drawing and painting. After three years at the École des Arts Décoratifs in Strasbourg, where he studied under Georges Ritleng and Louis-Philippe Kamm, he worked for a time as an advertising designer.
From 1932 to 1937, he resumed his studies at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he studied 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 were to have a lasting influence on him.
Back in Colmar, he moved into the family home on rue des Marchands and opened a private painting class.
For Schwarz himself, this marked the beginning of a period of religious and secular compositions, portraits, still lifes and familiar landscapes: Colmar, Thannenkirch, Orbey and Riquewihr in particular.
After the war, he exhibited at the Salon des artistes français (1949, 1951), at the Exposition de la France d'Outre-Mer (1950), at several Salons d'automne des artistes colmariens (1951 to 1957), at the Société nationale des Beaux-Arts at the Grand Palais in Paris (1951), and finally, after a long eclipse, at the Musée Bartholdi in Colmar (1988). After the artist's death, the same museum presented a Paul Schwarz retrospective in 1994, and the Colmar municipal library exhibited a selection of his watercolors in 1997.
From 1963 onwards, he made frequent long stays in Morocco, which he had first visited in 1947. He brought back an important series of drawings, from which he produced more elaborate canvases. The Musée Bartholdi owns a series of his paintings, and the Colmar municipal library holds a collection of drawings and watercolors.
