Carl Grossberg was an industrial painter, influenced by the artistic epoch of New Objectivity. He experienced the First World War and the beginning of the Second World War. But his passion was always painting, until his death.
Carl Grossberg, whose real name was Georg Carl Wilhelm Grandmontagne by birth, was a German painter who immortalized his works in oils and watercolors on canvas. Originally, however, he studied architecture, still under the name Grandmontagne, which, however, was shortly thereafter Germanized by his father - to Grossberg. Thereupon he had to interrupt his studies, as he was drafted into military service at the beginning of the 1st World War. A few years later he returned injured, but the war could not stop him from his career. As soon as the injury healed, he devoted himself to the study of fine arts and was engaged in painting, decorative art and spatial art. He earned his success by having a solo exhibition in Stuttgart, and later in Berlin and several cities in Germany. For his exhibitions and his art he received the Rome Prize a few years later. However, Grossberg was actually pursuing a larger project. A project called "Industrieplans", a cycle of paintings that was supposed to represent a cross-section of the most important industries in Germany. Unfortunately, however, it was never realized. For he was drafted again at the beginning of World War II and stationed in Poland. Eventually he died in a car accident while visiting his family on a home leave.
Grossberg's works were not consistently produced throughout his career. They changed over time. Initially, he produced cityscapes in oils and watercolors, inspired by the artist Lyonel Feininger. These building block-like structures were bright and bold in color, while the style was bursting with detail and precision. This was to become Grossberg's trademark as well. Later, he invested in technical apparatuses, the design aspect of which increasingly became an ingenue perspective, which he depicted. He produced his so-called "dream pictures", which enriched geometricized machinery with surrealist elements and turned it into a symbolic art space. At the beginning of the 1930s, however, he abandoned his "dream pictures" in favor of the art epoch of New Objectivity, in whose style he depicted technological interiors, without any other accessories. Factory halls and machine portraits in particular served as central motifs for his works during this period. His craft was to transform industrial functionaries of the time into artificial moments. This formed the distanced, undercooled pictorial language and timeless-looking sterility that made him the industrial painter Grossberg is still known as.
