Adelheid Goosch

Adelheid Goosch (born May 29, 1929 in Kronstadt ) is a Romanian-German painter, graphic artist, sculptor and art teacher.

Life

Adelheid Goosch, daughter of the Transylvanian architect Arnold Bruss, belonged in Kronstadt - together with the painters Lajos Boros (* 1928), Reinhardt Schuster and the poet Verona Bratesch (1922–1991) a. a. - to the inner circle of students of the pioneer of modern art, Hans Mattis-Teutsch , who founded a Free Academy of Young Artists in Kronstadt after the Second World War. After attending the Hungarian grammar school in Kronstadt, she studied at the Nicolae Grigorescu Art Academy in Bucharest . Her teachers and close friends included the Romanian professor and art historian Jonel Jianou (1905-1993), who later lived in the USA. After completing her studies, she taught for many years at the high school for music and visual arts in her hometown, where a number of young artists such as Renate Mildner-Müller (* 1940), Carin Eva Blücher and Marianne Ganea were among her students. In 1990 she moved to Germany together with her husband, the art photographer Hans Otto Goosch. Adelheid Goosch lived as a freelance painter in Gummersbach until April 2015 . Since May 2015 she has been living with her family in the Lower Saxon community of Hanstedt.

The artist's further development in Germany is characterized by a constant search for the truth, which, in her opinion, “will never die”. She tries to shape this commitment to the present, which always includes the "premonitions" of the future, in new, artistic forms of expression. It is difficult to classify your work in a contemporary trend, as it is often - such as B. in her well-known cycle "Credo in five paintings" - shows Christian accents.
