[edit] Occupation
Ernst Vogenauer, in his early years studied mainly in Munich ( München ) and was there a bright student of Fritz Helmut Ehmcke (1878–1965 ), while in the same time and to make a living, he was working for the Consee's art printing office of Munich. Then in 1921 he left Munich for a job in the National Printing Office in Berlin where he worked until World War II. In 1925 he got married with Minna who a few years later gave him a son. Perhaps it was also at that time of the twenties that he illustrated a publishing of the bavarian novel " Der Wittiber " ( The Widower ) by the German writer Ludwig Thoma ( 1867–1921 ). Anyway he was very gifted in various artistic crafts .
About art, in spite of his true respect of the Old Painting Masters, he was very open minded and overall attracted by Futurism, Cubism and Expressionism. To be free with regard to his employer and official work for the National Printing Office of Berlin, and to avoid some troubles, he often preferred to mark some of his private artistic works under the special signature " Saturn ". His artist friends were mainly a one called Binder, Peter Kraemer ( 1896–1972 ) son of an American bavarian painter also named Peter Kraemer, and Carl Johann Rabus ( 1898–1983) German expressionist painter. Moreover, Carl Rabus made ( ca 1927 or 1937 ? ) a beautiful self portrait with him, entitled : " Zwei Freunde, Selbst mit Ernst Vogenauer " ( " Two friends, I with Ernst Vogenauer "). To day this oil painting seems to be in the private Gerhard Schneider's Collection. It was only after World War II that Ernst Vogenauer became an Art school teacher in the High Art School of Berlin-Weissensee, in DDR.
