life and work
Georg Janthur was a great-nephew of the artist Richard Janthur (1883-1956), who (with Ludwig Meidner and Jakob Steinhardt ) was a founding member of the artist group Die Pathetiker . In 1999 Georg Janthur founded the artist group Die Neopathetiker together with Uwe Schloen and Christian Futscher in order to revive the pathos in art.
During his studies at the Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences (painting / sculpture, 1979–1985) he undertook his first study trips to Mexico on the trail of B. Traven . Further so-called “remake art journeys” followed: The Tunis journey ( Paul Klee / August Macke ), the Harz journey ( Heinrich Heine ), the St. Victoire ( Paul Cézanne ), and the art travel project “Go East” ins Baltic States, Poland and Romania, Slovakia, Hungary and Ukraine. As part of an artist exchange, Georg Janthur took part in an art panel (“Through our eyes”) in the Education Center of the Metropolitan Museum of New York in 2008. In addition to painting, Georg Janthur has again devoted himself to sculpture in wood since 2004. Georg Janthur has been married to the architect Bettina Voss-Janthur since 1991. He lives and works in Wuppertal.
