Life


In 1919, Hupp received his doctorate in Bonn with the dissertation Entwicklungsgeschichte der Kunst Carl Friedrich Lessing. In 1922 he published it under the title Karl Friedrich Lessing, a transitional master of the Düsseldorf school of painting from Romanticism to Realism. As early as 1916, he had appeared in the cultural magazine Die Rheinlande [de] with the article Zum Problem des modernen Kirchenbaues, im besonderen des katholischen. In it, he had advocated overcoming the sacral style and a contemporary renewal of church architecture.

In 1925, Hupp entered the service of the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum & Fondation Corboud in Cologne, first as a volunteer, then as a research assistant. When the position of director of the 17th to 20th century gallery was vacant there in 1928, he held it on an interim basis.[1] On 1 March 1934, Hupp succeeded Karl Koetschau [de] as full-time director of the Kunstmuseum Düsseldorf,[2] he had already held it provisionally since 1933.

As Düsseldorf museum director, he opened the exhibition "Galerie der Neuzeit" on 17 July 1935, a compilation of 20th-century paintings and sculptures whose concept he had been working on since 1934.[3] Under pressure from the Nazis, this exhibition, whose location they defamed as a "chamber of horrors of art",[4] to be closed just one day after its opening.[5] In the summer of 1935, the mayor of Düsseldorf Hans Wagenführ [de] decided to focus the collection entirely on regional art. The "Gallery of Modern Art" was thus de facto at an end; from 1937 it was officially called the "Rhenish-Westphalian Gallery". In 1935, the first modern works were given away: In September, a painting by Paul Klee was exchanged for a drawing by Wilhelm Leibl.[6] Works by KünstlerSammelwerkn such as Emil Nolde, Max Pechstein or Otto Dix were also sold.[7] The confiscation action "Degenerate Art" followed. [8] This effectively dissolved the "Gallery of Modern Art" in 1937. 112 paintings, eleven sculptures and 929 works on paper were lost as a result of these actions.[9]
