Siegfried Fritz Haase (1916-1996) was a German-Canadian artist. Born in Pomerania, Germany, he is known for expressionism during World War II and as an associate professor at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design from 1964 to 1984.
After relocating to Cambridge, Ontario, in 1984, Haase opened a studio in Kitchener, in 1985, and finally moved to Ottawa, where he resided until his death in 1996..[1] Haase's artwork is exhibited in various art galleries, archives, and collections across Canada, including the City of Ottawa Art Collection,[2] Artexte, the Dalhousie Art Gallery, the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, the Nova Scotia Art Bank, the Canadian Museum of History,[3] the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the National Gallery of Canada Library and Archives[4][2][5][6][7][8] In 1994, the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia released John Murchie's book on Haase, titled "Keeping Faith: The Life and Work of Siegfried Haase." The publication notes "the artist's German origins, the influence of Expressionism, and an interest in portraiture".[9][10]
