Kurt Teuscher

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kurt Teuscher (born May 25, 1921 in Radonitz / Böhmen; † December 14, 2016 in Hof (Saale) ) was a German painter of concrete art . His path led through his work as a commercial artist to two-dimensional design. For him, “concrete” means clear and pure design with a geometrically strict structure, but without a logical concept and mathematical calculation. Kurt Teuscher lived in Selb (Upper Franconia) from 2001 and in Hof (Saale) from 2015.

From 1954 to 1981 he worked as a commercial artist in Hamburg, Cologne and Frankfurt am Main . Since 1982 he has worked as a freelance painter in Weilheim, Regensburg and Selb. After 60 years of marriage, his wife Inge died in January 2010.
