At the age of one , Gobiet left high school and studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy from 1911 to 1914 . During the First World War he was drafted into military service in 1914, served as a soldier in the Balkans, Constantinople, Asia Minor and in 1917 on the Palestine front . There he was able to pursue his art further and expanded the spectrum of his painting with motifs from the Orient. After the war he returned to the art academy and became a master student of August Deusser .
Gobiet liked to paint in watercolor or pastel ; especially nudes . In 1920 he received a prize from the Grand State Prize for a large oil painting with female nudes in the studio, but the associated trip to Italy was canceled. Landscapes, nudes, gypsies were among his favorite subjects. He captured motifs from the Hofgarten , the Malkastenpark and the Grafenberg Forest in his pictures, but also often moved to nearby Flanders , from which his ancestors came , to paint . Numerous study trips between the wars took him to Italy, Dalmatia, Hungary, Switzerland, southern France, Spain, North Africa and Palestine.
Bernhard Gobiet was a member of the Malkasten artists' association and later chaired it for a long time. In 1920, 1922 and 1926 he was represented with several representations at the Düsseldorf Great Art Exhibition in the Museum Kunstpalast .
In 1927/28 Gobiet participated several times in exhibitions of the Young Rhineland and the "Rhenish Secession". For the " Rheinhalle " (multi-purpose hall and planetarium) of the GeSoLei , which took place in Düsseldorf in 1926, Bernhard Gobiet made one of the gusset pictures with two female files, which hangs in today's Tonhalle . In 1930 Gobiet took part in the German Art Exhibition in the Glaspalast (Munich) .
In the 1930s, Gobiet traveled extensively in the Mediterranean region. Numerous works were created with motifs from Monte Carlo, the Italian mainland and Sicily and he took part in the annual exhibition of the "Rhenish Secession" in the Städtische Kunsthalle Düsseldorf , with the picture "Cassis" in 1935 Werner Schramm portrayed Gobiet in a painter's smock.
As a representative of late impressionism , he had only loose contact with the circle around Mother Ey , but he was acquainted with Otto Dix , whom he visited in Hemmenhofen on Lake Constance during the Second World War .
As part of the defamation as degenerate art, the National Socialists also confiscated works of art by Gobiet in 1937, including the picture Gypsy Children , from the public art collection of the city of Düsseldorf . In 1940 one of his paintings was then shown in the Great German Art Exhibition in the House of German Art in Munich . In 1943 Bernhard Gobiet lived at Hompeschstrasse 6 in Düsseldorf. In the last year of the war, Gobiet was called up for military service and became a prisoner of war and died shortly after being released from the prison camp in June 1945 in Düsseldorf.
Christa Gobiet, Bernhard's wife, managed his estate. In 1948, the Kurt Hackmann gallery in Düsseldorf , then located at 47 Schadowstrasse, organized a memorial exhibition for the Rhenish painter Bernhard Gobiet.
