Life
Oskar Manigk was born as the son of the painter Otto Manigk in Berlin and grew up during the war in Ückeritz in Western Pomerania on Usedom. After graduating from high school in 1953, he completed an apprenticeship as a carpenter. From 1956 to 1957 he was a visiting student at the Berlin-Weißensee School of Art . Manigk had been a member of the Association of Visual Artists of the GDR since 1965 and has been a member of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Artists' Association since 1990. He became friends with Robert Rehfeldt , through whom he came into contact with forerunners of Mail Art in the late 1960s . A first edition of Mail Art cards was made in 1980 by Jürgen Schweinbraden. Since the 1970s, in addition to his typical expressive-figurative painting on sheet of paper (78 × 107 cm), abstract drawings, caricatures, overpaintings, collages, poems and films have been created. Since the fall of the Wall , he has shown his work in many exhibitions. The unmistakable works of the “manic painter Manigk” , as he was called in the NDR culture journal on August 12, 2000, now also fill large-format canvases. Extensive groups of works can be found in the Kunsthalle Rostock , in the Pomeranian State Museum in Greifswald, in the Museum Folkwang in Essen , in the Museum Walter in Augsburg as well as in the State Museum Schwerin and in the art collection Neubrandenburg. In 2005 he received the culture award of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania for his life's work.
He has three daughters, Henriette Manigk is also an artist.
