Dieter Goltzsche, 2014

Dieter Goltzsche (born December 28, 1934 in Dresden ) is a German painter , draftsman and graphic artist . From 1992 to 2000 he was professor for painting and graphics at the Berlin-Weißensee School of Art .

Life

Dieter Goltzsche grew up in Dresden. After attending elementary school, from 1950 to 1952 he learned the trade of textile pattern maker and patroneur . From 1952 to 1957 he studied at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts with professors Hans Theo Richter and Max Schwimmer . Goltzsche was noticed early on due to his above-average artistic talent, which prompted Max Schwimmer to appoint him to his master class at the German Academy of the Arts in Berlin in 1958 . Goltzsche was to remain swimmer's only master student. As a result of disputes between the Central Committee of the SED and the academy, which related to formalism allegations against the academy members, Goltzsche's master class came to an end in 1959. Since then, the artist has lived freelance in Berlin and settled in 1960, first in Köpenick and later in Friedrichshagen .

Dieter Goltzsche is a passionate observer. The reason for images has always been provided by the obvious: the human figure, the interior as well as the city and landscape. At first, drawing was his preferred medium. His prints began between 1955 and 1957 with etchings and lithography, some linoleum and woodcuts were added. In 1964 his oeuvre was expanded to include offset lithography, which he was the first artist to introduce into the GDR's graphic arts. The prints are thematically dedicated to the landscape and the urban milieu, there are portraits, many genre papers carefully observed. In the 1960s Goltzsche built one of the most extensive graphic works of his generation. In 1964 he began watercolor painting, which has since become one of his most important fields of work, followed by tempera painting and pastel in the 1970s. Perhaps inspired by his teacher Max Schwimmer, Goltzsche also dealt with literature from an early age. In addition to numerous free sheets on literature, he produced literature-related drawings and graphic works, which the artist published in more than 60 illustrated books. Goltzsche devotes himself to drawing with ongoing interest. Initially committed to the object, compositional questions alone, questions of line, surface and space increasingly became the object of constant discussion, with reality or the experience of it always remaining the starting point. Analogously to this, the artist also intensified the tendency towards two-dimensional compositions in watercolor and tempera painting, whereby the properties and materiality of the color itself meet him especially with the latter. However, abstraction and the figurative are balanced, as are sensual experiences and spiritual penetration.

Artist friendships linked and connected Dieter Goltzsche with Werner Wittig and Max Uhlig , with Manfred Böttcher , Harald Metzkes and Werner Stötzer , with Lothar Böhme , Hans Vent , Wolfgang Leber and Klaus Roenspieß since his student days in Dresden and his master class in Berlin .
