Rosa Kühn
Rosa Kühn (born May 28, 1928 in Grünberg , Lower Silesia Province ) is a German painter .
Life
Rosa Kühn is the daughter of a butcher who ran a small canning factory with “Kühn's sausages” in Grünberg. Her mother was the daughter of a master baker. Rosa still had two sisters. Her parents recognized her artistic talent early on and gave her an easel for her seventh birthday.
After the expulsion from Silesia, the family moved to Berlin, where Rosa began studying painting with Max Debus at the State University of Fine Arts (now the University of the Arts ). She met Otto Niemeyer-Holstein (ONH) who was currently exhibiting his watercolors in Wolff's library in Berlin-Friedenau . In March 1949 she moved to ONH in Lüttenort on Usedom to continue her studies there as his student.
The conversations between ONH and the Ückeritz painter Otto Manigk sharpened her perspective and attitude towards art. Next to painting, music was her second passion. For almost a quarter of a century, until Otto Manigk's death, the three played works by Bach, Handel and old Italian composers every Friday in the line-up of Rosa Kühn (piano), Otto Manigk (1st violin), ONH (2nd violin) .
In 1952 Rosa Kühn moved to Zempin in the Inselhof , a formerly simple inn, which in the 1930s developed into a thriving inn and was also a popular meeting place for Wernher von Braun and his friends and colleagues. In 1954 ONH rented her his "Torrino" (turret), the former transformer house of the naval air defense and coastal artillery school in Zempin, which he had converted into a residential building.
In 1966 Rosa Kühn began painting ceramics. Their small kiln only allowed ceramic plates up to 17 × 27.5 cm in size. So she had to divide her large-format works into plate size, paint them individually and burn them. She received orders for various public institutions, such as B. Schools, kindergartens and swimming pools. In the former school in Zempin ( Uns olle Schaul ) the panels “Four Seasons” can be seen. The work in the Zinnowitz swimming pool was removed during the renovation work.
When she moved into her own house in Zempin in 1982, Rosa Kühn devoted herself to watercolor painting.
