Max Manfred Queißer (born February 15, 1927 in Freital ; † May 4, 2016 in Radebeul ) was a German cultural sociologist and painter .

Life

Max Manfred Queißer was the son of Max Queißer and his wife Johanna Springsklee. As a teenager he learned to play the violin . Before completing an apprenticeship as a machinist, he was called up for military service in 1944 and from 1945 to 1948 he was a Soviet prisoner of war in the Donets Basin . Then he returned to his job and finished his training.

After studying sociology , Queißer graduated from Leipzig University in 1964 . In 1968 he received his doctorate at the Faculty of Vocational Education and Cultural Studies at the Technical University of Dresden on the behavior of intelligence in continuing education, and in 1978 he qualified as a professor at the Faculty of Social Sciences at the same university with a study of work culture and work organization. From 1968 to 1989 Manfred Queißer worked as a cultural sociologist, from 1973 he was on the editorial advisory board of the trade journal FORM + ZWECK , where he also published repeatedly. In the GDR , 1 to 2% of the building costs for administrative, cultural and social buildings had to be used for the artistic design of the property; Queißer supported and founded these efforts for the beauty of architecture and the surrounding nature through his scientific and professional work; to this end, he maintained contacts with the production cooperative visual artists “Art in the building” and with the artists Friedrich Kracht and Karl-Heinz Adler .

Max Manfred Queißer had been married to interior designer Gerlinde Frönicke since 1975 , with whom he developed artistic design concepts. The couple lived in Radebeul from 1976 in the listed Villa Meißner Straße 247 , and in 1980 a son was born. Max Manfred Queißer had three children from his first marriage, who were born between 1951 and 1961.

Artistic activity

In 1956 Manfred Queißer was one of the initiators of the first post-war exhibition with graphic sheets by Käthe Kollwitz . He began his own painting activity in 1958, and since then he has maintained many friendly contacts, among others with the Dresden artists Josef Hegenbarth , Lea and Hans Grundig . From 1985 he was a member of the Association of Visual Artists of the GDR and, after its dissolution and regionalization, from 1990 in the Saxon Artists Association / Landesverband Bildende Kunst e. V. From 1990 to 2001 he was a member of the regional council of the regional association; this included a juror activity in the context of artistic competitions.

From 1993 Max Manfred Queißer intensified his own activities as a painter and set up a studio for this in his home in Radebeul . He also devoted himself increasingly to playing the violin. Between 1996 and 2014 he spent time studying on the Turkish west coast, in Italy, Dalmatia, Cappadocia, Istria, Prague, Venice and Paris, and in 2004 he took part in the International Artists' Meeting of the Euroregion Neisse . Apart from a few representational “anti-war pictures”, Max Manfred Queißer often worked in an abstract, little or no representational manner. He expressed what he saw in himself, dreams and visions - “to a certain extent his soul landscapes,” says Wendelin Szalai, which were determined by love for peace, harmony, beauty and joy. He created his oil paintings, watercolors and drawings from a variety of colors, lines and shapes of different intensities and gave his inner feelings external expression. His work was often and intensely inspired by the sensations he experienced while listening to music.
