Gustav Boese

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gustav Boese (born March 19, 1878 in Schwerin an der Warthe , † 1943 in Berlin ) was a German painter .

Boese is known as the "house painter of the Memelland". He came to Memel as a soldier in 1914 and discovered the barren landscape of the Memelland and the Curonian Spit for himself. Trained as an artist at the teaching institute of the Kunstgewerbemuseum Berlin in Berlin, he painted, drew and lithographed landscapes, harbors and the simple life of fishermen and farmers. In 1924 he had to leave this region after the Lithuanian occupation. But Böse returned in 1939 with the return of the Memelland to Germany. His works are widely scattered in private hands.
