Erich Tursch
Erich Tursch (born February 16, 1902 in Lišov (German: Lischau), Bohemia ; † August 15, 1983 in Kassel ) was a German painter, graphic artist and art teacher.
Life
Tursch initially trained in painting and graphics at the Art Academy in Prague . He then completed his studies in art history and classical archeology at the University of Prague with a doctorate . After his first years working at various museums and research institutes, he became director of the Museum of the National Archives in Brno in 1943 .
After the end of the Second World War , he came to Fritzlar in northern Hesse in 1949 , where he worked as an art teacher at the local secondary school , today's König-Heinrich-Schule , and as a freelance artist until 1967 . Tursch was certainly the most important Fritzlar painter of the 20th century. His work ranges from oil paintings and watercolors to linoleum and woodcuts to chalk drawings and etchings , many of which deal with socially critical topics in entire cycles. His works, created before 1945, were lost in the post-war chaos.
