Emanuel Bachrach-Barée

Emanuel Bachrach-Barée (11 April 1863 20 April 1943) was a German painter.

Life

Bachrach-Barée was born in Oderberg in Austrian Silesia to Jewish parents, the miller and merchant Philipp Israel Bachrach (1818-1892) and his wife Helena née Kremser (1837-1921).

He was a self-taught artist. In 1885 he settled in München. Since 1890 his paintings were represented in the Glaspalast at the exhibitions of the Luitpold-Gruppe, an association of artists, which stood for moderately modern aspirations with high artistic quality. Occasionally he also exhibited in Berlin, e.g. at the International Art Exhibition of 1891 and the Grand Art Exhibition of 1893. Bachrach-Barée also worked as an illustrator for German newspapers. Into old age, he worked with unbroken creativity. In the years 1931 and 1932 his paintings were still on display at the art exhibitions of the Deutsches Museum in München. Because of his Jewish origin, he was imposed a working and sales ban by the German authorities in 1936.

Emanuel Bachrach-Barée died in München in 1943.

Both his sons, Hellmut Bachrach-Barée (München 1898–1969) and Hans Bachrach (München 1900-1958), were painters.
