Life

Paran G'schrey was the son of Luise (Liesel) Haustein and adoptive son of the painter, graphic artist and poet Ludwig G'schrey (1907-2002). His grandfather was the musician Richard G'schrey (1872–1956?). He spent his youth in Germany and studied from 1943 to 1944 at the master school for arts and crafts in Berlin-Charlottenburg and, after his military service, from 1946 to 1948 with Willi Baumeister at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart . From 1949 to 1955 he continued his studies with Hans Kuhn and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff at the University of Fine Arts in Berlin . In 1948 he married Uta J. Schlemmer, the daughter of Oskar Schlemmer , the marriage was in 1953 divorced . C. Raman Schlemmer emerged from the connection, together with his cousin Janine Schlemmer heir to the estate of Oskar Schlemmer. Paran G'schrey was married to Katharina Schulze (later Ehrlicher), a sister of Peter Schulze-Rohr and Jakob Schulze-Rohr , since 1957 . The connection resulted in his son Thomas G'schrey , today known as a cultural journalist and manager / violinist / musician TThomthom Geigenschrey. Paran G'schrey was also the uncle of the Leipzig (now Berlin) painter Albrecht Gehse .

G'schrey died by suicide in 1967 .

In 1957 G'schrey was accepted into the German Association of Artists . His initially figurative compositions ( Studienblatt Radfahrer , 1955, gouache on paper) dissolved at the end of the 1950s in favor of motifs in which the artist combined figures and signs.

In 1962 G'schrey received the Villa Romana Prize , which was linked to a one-year stay in Florence . There he made friends with the painter Horst Antes , who artistically moved in the opposite direction. In Florence, Antes gave up his spontaneous and painterly way of working and reinforced the figurative. G'schrey, on the other hand, pushed back the representational in his motifs in favor of informal, initially scriptural lines. "The result is a network of color, the pictorial spaces suggest condensation, expansion, agglomerations and loosely structured surfaces follow their own, oscillating rhythm". In his late watercolors, which were kept in black basic tones, the beginnings of a figurative representation returned.

G'schrey's preferred artistic media were gouache and watercolor , which he also combined and which he expanded to include collages and drypoint , and, in the last years of his life, to overpainting. Large-format oil paintings date from the late 1950s ( The engagement of San Domingo , 1959, oil on canvas, 204 × 113 cm). Occasionally, works by the artist can be found in auction shops. The written estate is in the archive of the Academy of Arts , Berlin
