Hilde Goldschmidt

Hilde Goldschmidt (* 7. September 1897 in Leipzig , † 7. August 1980 in Kitzbuehel ) was a German painter and graphic artist of Expressionism .

Life

Hilde Goldschmidt grew up in a German-Jewish family in Leipzig and attended the secondary school for girls until 1914 . She then studied at the Leipzig Academy of Visual Arts at Hugo Steiner-Prag the subjects drawing , lithography and woodcut . From autumn 1918 she took private lessons in painting and drawing from Otto Richard Bossert (1874–1919).

In 1919 Goldschmidt took ballet lessons at the Leipzig Opera . At the same time she designed sets for August Strindberg's drama Ein Traumspiel and for Mechtilde Lichnowsky's Ein Spiel vom Tod . In the autumn of 1919 Goldschmidt was accepted by the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden, where she initially studied with Otto Hettner. It was here that she met Friedrich Karl Gotsch in the same year . Together they had been students of Oskar Kokoschka since 1920 .

In 1923 Goldschmidt, Gotsch and Hans Meyboden traveled to the USA, where they met the artist couple Maxim Kopf and Mary Duras in New York . In 1926 and 1927 Goldschmidt and Gotsch studied in Paris at the Académie Colarossi .

During the National Socialist era, Hilde Goldschmidt and her mother († 1949) moved from Leipzig to Kitzbühel in Austria in 1936 . Because of their Jewish origins, the Austrian authorities forced them to emigrate to England after the annexation of Austria in 1939 . In 1941 Hilde Goldschmidt visited her former Dresden teacher Oskar Kokoschka in English exile in Polperro (Cornwall).

In 1950 she returned to Kitzbühel. In 1954, Hilde Goldschmidt first took part in the International Summer Academy for Fine Arts in Salzburg , which Kokoschka had founded in 1953. In the following years she worked there as a teacher. In 1974 she was given the professional title of Professor .

Hilde Goldschmidt's style developed from a (post) expressionism strongly influenced by Kokoschka to a combination of abstract and often only hinted at representational elements. Strong, luminous color surfaces are typical of their design language. Her subjects remain traditional like portraits and landscapes, the self-portrait occupies an important place.
