Encyclopedia > Edgar Ende

Edgar Ende (1901- December 27, 1965) was a German surrealist painter, father of the children's novelist Michael Ende.


In the 1930s Ende's paintings were condemned as decadent by the Nazi Germany government, and in 1940 he was conscripted into the German army as an operator of anti-aircraft artillery.


Edgar Ende's paintings are thought to have had a significant influence on his son's writing. This is inferred in the scenes depicting the surreal dream-paintings from Yor's Minroud in Die Unendliche Geschichte (The Neverending Story), and made explicit in Michael Ende's book Der Spiegel im Spiegel (The Mirror in the Mirror), which is a collection of short stories based on (and printed alongside) Edgar Ende's surrealist works.


Edgar Ende died in 1965 of a myocardial infarction.

In Altona an der Elbe 1901 in armen Verhältnissen geboren, erhielt er nach einer Malerlehre während seiner Lehr- und Studienzeit an der damaligen Handwerker- und Kunstgewerbeschule seiner Heimatstadt von 1915 bis 1920 eine ausgezeichnete handwerkliche Ausbildung in den lithographischen, zeichnerischen und malerischen Techniken.
Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, an dem Edgar Ende als Soldat teilgenommen hatte, gelang es ihm rasch, an seine surrealistische Malerei der 30er-Jahre anzuknüpfen und eine noch größere fantasiereiche Darstellungsvielfalt zu entwickeln.
Mehr als zuvor entfaltete Edgar Ende seit den 50er-Jahren in seinen Gemälden und in der nun von ihm bevorzugten Gouachemalerei eine ungewöhnlich dichte, metaphysische Bildsprache.
