Rosemarie Würth (also: Rosemarie Beuermann-Würth and Rosemarie Bauermann-Würth * May 29, 1938 in Stettin ) is a German graphic artist, draftsman, painter and lithographer.

Life

Rosemarie Würth was born in Szczecin before the Second World War in 1938. She and her mother Hedwig Würth fled from the north in 1944/45 to Lower Bavaria in the Straubing district, where she attended the elementary school in Bogen. She spent her childhood on a farm from the age of 6. Hikes “through woods and fields” with her father, a painter and graphic artist, who made botanical grass and plant drawings for a grassland institute (experimental fields) in Lower Bavaria after the end of the war, were formative during this period. On June 19, 1949 Rosemarie Würth switched to the upper secondary school of the "Ursulines" in Straubing. In 1954 her father was transferred to Hanover and now worked there as a commercial artist. Rosemarie Würth attended the Sophia School in Hanover for a year. She then studied commercial graphics from 1955 to 1959 in Hanover at the Werkkunstschule there . She received her diploma in book graphics. With a resulting scholarship from the " Gropius Foundation " named after the Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius , Würth was able to pursue further studies in the field of "free graphics" from 1959 to 1961, including the subjects of etching and lithography with Gerhard Wendland and Johann Georg Geyger , as well as free painting.

In 1963 she married the Hanoverian painter Wilhelm Beuermann , then published under her married name Beuermann-Würth.

After Rosemarie Würth drew together with Reinhard Herrmann for the school book series Die Welt der Zahl - arithmetic book for elementary schools of the Schroedel Verlag at the end of the 1950s, she worked as a freelance illustrator for the school book publisher from 1963 to 1977 after her studies.

Rosemarie Würth and her husband the painter Wilhelm Beuermann in 1997 in Sardinia

During that time, Rosemarie Würth and her husband built an old stone farmhouse in the mountains of Liguria into another place of residence and work. The move to the island of Sardinia followed in 2003 . with both artists working regularly in their studios there for further years.

From 1977 Rosemarie Würth also worked as a freelance draftsman in Hanover. Technically, the artist, who lives and works in the Oststadt district of Hanover , focused on pencil and colored pencil drawings, as well as etchings, created meticulously drawn still lifes and landscapes with a "love of the details of nature" and "often for months after the same motif".

"Leaves, stones, fruits, trees become thickets,
mountains with valleys, caves and distant mountain ridges."

In 1979 Rosemarie Würth was one of the artists exhibiting in Poland in the first art exhibitions agreed between the district of Hanover and the city of Olsztyn in Poland .

From 1979, Würth charged several times the autumn exhibition of Lower Saxony artist of the Kunstverein Hannover , such as 1981 under the exhibition title Wat een the sien Uhl ... .

The Hanoverian visual artists Max Sauk , János Nádasdy , Ulrike Enders , Wilhelm Beuermann and Rosemarie Würth founded the artist group “Plasma” and from 1980 to 1989 sent numerous joint exhibitions at home and abroad.

At the beginning of the 1980s a long-term collaboration with the Hanoverian gallery “Artforum” developed by Sigrid and Hermann Otto.

Since 1977 study trips have led Rosemarie Würth u. a. to Greece, Russia, Ireland, Algeria, Egypt, Persia as well as Central Asia and India. Numerous sketches and drawings were made on the trips. The idea of ​​being able to live for and from art took shape here.

The Mediterranean landscape and flora were always a source of inspiration for Rosemarie Würth. The warmth - the light, the natural emergence and the passing away again appear constantly present and can be experienced in the microcosm of the drawn arrangements by Rosemarie Würth on every sheet.

Her husband Wilhelm Beuermann wrote on September 6, 1987:

“Death plays an important role in her work.
The transience of beauty is her constant theme.
The ugliness, the dying is latently always present,
as an antipode to the beautiful appearance. "

Rosemarie Würth and her work were included in the " artist database and estate archive Lower Saxony ".
