Life
Siegfried Korth returned to Stralsund in 1948 seriously ill from captivity in the Soviet Union . At the Volkswerft Stralsund he worked as a draftsman and registrar as well as a cultural advisor. In 1950 he began studying at the Berlin-Weißensee School of Art , among others with Bert Heller and Arno Mohr , which he graduated in 1955. Then he was a master student at the Academy of Arts of the GDR with Otto Nagel and Heinrich Ehmsen .
Back in Stralsund, he worked as a freelance artist and supervised the artistic circle at the Volkswerft. In the early 1970s he moved to Groß Lindow.
Numerous large-format paintings from the 1960s show the grounds of the Volkswerft and shipbuilders at work. In the representation and characterization of people he followed his teacher Heinrich Ehmsen. In his landscape pieces he implemented the strictness of form even more intensively, but later moved away from the barren imagery. He put architectural views of Stralsund in prismatic structures.
Many of his government commissions made murals.
After moving to the Frankfurt (Oder) district , he dealt thematically with the Second World War and the concentration camps .
