Wilhelm Schnarrenberger (* 30. Juni 1892 in Buchen im Odenwald; † 12. April 1966 in Karlsruhe) war ein deutscher Maler. (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Schnarrenberger) German painter born in Buchen in the Odenwald in 1892, one of the representatives of the Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity). He graduated from high school. From 1911 to 1915 he attended the Royal College of Fine Arts Munich and studied architecture. From 1913 he was a pupil of the graphic designer Fritz Helmuth Ehmcke and a friend of Karl Rössing. In 1918 he was recruited for service in the First World War. He was active in 1919 for the magazine Der Weg and from 1920 for the magazines Wieland and Simplicissimus. Schnarrenberger taught at the Badische Landeskunstschule from 1921 to 1933. In 1924 he was a founding member of ORNA's advertising and interior decoration workshops. Among the national socialists, his art was frowned upon and was forbidden as "degenerate" in 1937; after that he had not been allowed to teach. That year he moved to Berlin with his family, where he tried to earn a living as a freelance photographer. In 1938 he went to Lenzkirch in the Black Forest, where he and his wife Melitta opened a small holiday retreat. Here he discovered the theme of still life that was so important in his later work. In 1947 he was appointed professor to the Staatliche Akademie der Bildende Künste Karlsruhe. In 1962 he received the Hans Thoma Staatsspreis for his artistic work. Schnarrenberger always emphasized the craftsmanship of his students, so they had to learn the drawing of architectural buildings and everyday objects before he painted them. He died in 1966.
