Hanns Schimansky
1949 Bitterfeld
Hanns Schimansky is a German draftsman and graphic artist. From 1998 to 2015 he was a professor of painting at the Berlin-Weißensee School of Art. He lives in Berlin.
Hanns Schimansky grew up in Stralsund and Rostock. He studied agriculture at the University of Rostock from 1968-1972. From 1972 to 1977 he worked in the grain industry. He had already drawn intensively during his school and university years and was inspired by Johannes Müller. From 1974 Gerhard Kettner promoted him, through whose mediation he was a master student with Karl Erich Müller at the Academy of Arts of the GDR from 1977 to 1980. Since then he has lived in Berlin. Since 1997 he is a member of the Academy of Arts (Berlin).
He initially drew representationally, observing everyday situations and landscapes. Over the years he reduced the representation more and more and developed his graphic language from abstraction. By beginning to fold his drawings while working and partially unfold them again at the end of the work, he also developed a three-dimensionality of drawing.
