Joseph Fassbender (Faßbender) (April 14, 1903 in Cologne – January 5, 1974 in Cologne) was a German painter and draughtsman.
Life and art
During the 1920s Fassbender was trained in painting by Richard Seewald at the Kölner Werkschulen. Since 1928, he ran his own studio in Cologne.[1] As an artist, he primarily produced abstract paintings.
During the Second World War he was obliged to work as a Wehrmacht cartographer.
Since 1946 he ran a studio at Bornheim near Bonn. In 1947 Fassbender founded at Schloss Alfter near Bornheim, together with Hann Trier, Hubert Berke and some other artists and men of letters, the "Donnerstagsgesellschaft" in order to revive, and promote, modern painting in the Rhineland.
In 1951 he organized an exhibition for his friend, Max Ernst. In 1955, 1959 and 1964, Fassbender participated at the documentas I-III in Kassel.
In 1958 the artist was appointed professor of painting and drawing at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, where he retired in 1968.[2]
