Georg Gelbke
Georg Hermann Gelbke (born September 12, 1882 in Rochlitz , Saxony, † March 17, 1947 in Dresden ) was a Saxon painter and graphic artist who worked a lot in East Prussia .
Life
Georg Gelbke came from a patriarchal family of doctors and studied at the Dresden Art Academy , where he also met Richard Birnstengel , with whom he had a lot in common. His study trips took him to Bohemia , Paris , Corsica and Dalmatia . An art-loving estate manager near Dresden had his daughters trained by Birnstengel and Gelbke in drawing, with the result that both of them married one of the daughters and were related by marriage. Their studios were next door to door in a house near Dresden Central Station .
After 1930, Gelbke visited Nidden several times , where Birnstengel had a house and the two of them created joint works, especially winter pictures of the Curonian landscape . He found his favorite motifs in the fishing villages on the spit. Some of these paintings can be found today in the archives of the Kulturhistorisches Museum of the Hanseatic City of Stralsund , the other part is in private ownership.
Georg Gelbke was a member of the German Association of Artists .
