Live and act

Inge Götze is the second of four children of Siegfried Liermann (December 21, 1912 - March 3, 1981, journeyman baker, locksmith, then LPG chairman in Rubow and Lehmkuhlen) and Else Liermann, nee. Werner (January 31, 1915 - September 12, 2006, saleswoman in the textile business, in GDR times in a construction combine).

Inge Götze studied painting at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts . Building on this, she studied in Halle at what was then the college for industrial design, picture carpet design . Götze had the opportunity to realize large-format tapestries as commissioned work for public spaces in the GDR .

At an early stage she turned away from the exclusively figurative, objective claim of GDR art in her work. In her work, she reacted to the restrictive requirements of the state cultural enterprise with a change to more abstraction and small format, ornaments and experimental image design. Her oeuvre consists of tapestries, paintings, works on paper, paper cuttings and figurative appliqué works.

Her late works are described as reinventing landscapes, of light and air movements with references to plants and soil, which make reflections and perceptions visible.

Inge Götze is married to Wasja Götze , their son Moritz (born 1964) is a well-known artist in Central Germany. “During the day she was a professor, in the evening a mother and at night she went to the studio to create her own works of art. […] That was the way, I don't know how often I have walked the way from 1960 to practically now. It's so beautiful that you could never get over it. "

Inge Götze worked for more than 40 years at Giebichenstein Castle in Halle as a professor of textile art and dean . She shaped the profile of Giebichenstein Castle significantly.

Awards

In 2004 Götze received the medal “Thanks to the Castle” for her exceptional services to the university.
