EXTRABLATT: Emil Lugo "Die blauen Blätter"

In the organizer's words:

The Graphic Collections of the Augustinermuseum and the Museum für Neue Kunst open their portfolios once a month on an alternating basis and invite you to a presentation of selected works in the House of the Graphic Collection.

This time Felix Reuße presents landscape drawings by the artist Emil Lugo (1840-1902). "The blue sheets" are part of a sketchbook.

Born in Stockach, Emil Lugo was a landscape painter who was influenced by Johann Wilhelm Schirmer and was known far beyond Baden. After working in Karlsruhe (Art Academy), Weimar and Dresden, he moved to Freiburg in 1875. He had been close friends with Hans Thoma since his time at the academy and traveled to Italy with him. In his works, he explores the landscape of the Black Forest and made sketches on blue paper during his summer vacation with the family of his patron Wilhelm Jensen in Gütenbach and the surrounding area.
