Julia Ris (21 September 1904, Kingston upon Hull – 16 December 1991, Basel) was a Swiss painter, sculptor, and graphic artist.[1][2] She taught materials and drawing at the Gewerbeschule Basel, where she introduced students, including Jean Tinguely, to early 20th-century artistic movements such as Dada, Abstraction, and the Bauhaus.[3][4]

Early life and education

[edit]

Julia Ries was born on the 21 September 1904, to a German Jewish family in Kingston upon Hull.[5][6] Ris' father, Gustav Ries, was an importer and later owned a millinery factory, whilst Ris' mother, Agnes Ries née Siblerman, was a housewife and artist.[6] Ris' had four siblings, the youngest of which was the American metal artist Victor Ries (1907 – 2013).[7][6][5] The family returned to Germany sometime between 1905–1907 and settled in Berlin.[6][8][5]

Education

[edit]

From 1921–1925, Ris was educated at the Kunstgewerbeschule [1] and the Academy of Fine Arts in Berlin.[9] In 1925, Ris married Swiss artist Theo Eble, a fellow classmate at the Academy of Fine Arts.[9] Ris and Eble and moved to Eble's hometown of Basel, where Ris began to develop her work toward abstraction and reliefs.[9][8] In 1935 their daughter, Doris Eva Eble, was born.[8]

According to Jean Tinguely, both Ris and Eble studied at Bauhaus.[10]

Career

[edit]

From 1930–1957, Ris taught at the Gewerbeschule Basel applied arts department and sporadically created her own artworks. [9] Ris' "material studies" class was based on the concepts of Bauhaus, and introduced students to the concept of creating collages using scrap and found materials such as metal, wood or cloth.[11][12][13][14][15] Ris' students included Beatrice Afflerbach [16] and Jean Tinguely. [17] Ris is credited with introducing Tinguely to the work of Kurt Schwitters, Paul Klee, and to other artists interested in representations of movement (notably the Italian Futurists).[15][12]

Ris was a member of the ″Allianz, Vereinigung moderner Schweizer Künstler″ (Alliance, Association of Modern Swiss Artists), and exhibited with the group in 1947.[8][18]In 1956, Ris married the Swiss artist Fritz Heid [de] (1916–2010)[19] In 1967, Ris and Held were joint artists-in-residence at the Cité Internationale des Arts [20][8][21] From 1970–1977 Ris taught at the Technical University of Basel, and lived in Sissach.[8]
