German painter Karl Julius Joest (1896-1975) born in Solingen, studied from 1919 to 1928 at the Academy for Art in Düsseldorf. He was a pupil of Max Clarenbach and painted mainly landscapes and people. He took part at the ‘Ausstellung Deutsche Kunst’ in the Kunstpalast Düsseldorf in 1928 and in 1932 at the Düsseldorf-Munich Art Exhibition, again in the Kunstpalast in Düsseldorf. A year earlier, in 1931, Joest had won the Kulturpreis (Culture-prize) of the City of Düsseldorf, which included an allowance for studying in Italy. From 1941 to 1943 Karl Julius Joest was represented at the Great German Art Exhibition with eight works, mostly depicting landscapes and small factories. National Socialist artists depicted a world ennobled by hammers and muscles, not a world of high technology. It was the factory rather than the worker that was shown: flaming furnaces, smoking chimneys, howling wharves, the battlefields of the workers where the individuality counted for little. This can be seen excellently in the following GDK-works of Joest: ‘Solinger Industry’, ‘Schleiferei aus Solinger Wald’, ‘Arbeitspause an der Schleifstelle’ and ‘Aus einer Niederrheinische Werkstatt’. Beginning in 1954 Joest was a board member of the Art Association of Düsseldorf. In 1960 he held an exhibition in Düsseldorf (Artist Association Malkasten), and in 1961 at the German Klingenmuseum in Solingen. Joest took part in the yearly exhibitions of the Bergischen Kunstausstellungen and was represented at other exhibitions in Düsseldorf , Munich, Hagen, Bochum, Gelsenkirchen, Hameln and Florenz. Karl Julius Joest died in 1975 in Düsseldorf.
