German
Chargesheimer (Hargesheimer, Karl-Heinz) is one of
Germany’s most important photographers of the
post-World War II period.Through his advertising
photography, portraiture, photo-essay books, and
experimental photography, he created a far-ranging
and important body of work at mid-century. He was
a multi-talented artist who throughout his life ex-
pressed himself as a graphic designer, a set designer,
theater director, and a sculptor, but for whom photo-
graphy was both a means of documentation and a
favorite artistic medium.
Chargesheimer was born Karl-Heinz Hargeshei-
mer on May 19, 1924, in Cologne, Germany. From
1942–1944 he studied photography, sculpture, and
graphic design at the Werkkunstschule in Cologne
and later at the Bayerische Staatslehranstalt fuer
Lichtbildwesen. Only after 1948 did he adopt
‘‘Chargesheimer’’ as his artist’s name. In 1949 he
began a beneficial, lifetime association with Co-
logne collector L. Fritz Gruber who invited him to
exhibit in the firstPhoto-Kinoexhibition as well as
every second year thereafter. He taught photogra-
phy at the Bikla School for Photography and Film
in Dusseldorf, Germany, from 1950–1955, and
afterward began his work as a commercial photo-
grapher and photojournalist.
Chargesheimer’s early photography shows the
influence ofArt Informel, a movement that focusesCHAMBI, MARTI ́N
