Friedrich Karl Gotsch (1900 Pries near Kiel - 1984 Schleswig) Untitled. (Landscape scene) Dynamically painted view of a coastal village in southern France in expressive colors and with strong contours. Gotsch, who was influenced by the "Brücke" painters and Edvard Munch, went to the Dresden Academy in 1920 and was a master student of Oskar Kokoschka from 1921 to 1923. During the "Third Reich", Gotsch was one of the ostracized modern artists; his studio and almost his entire oeuvre in Berlin were destroyed in a bombing raid. In 1945/46, he founded a painting school and a branch of the "Baukreis" in St. Peter-Ording, where he also taught until its closure in 1951. In 1962 Gotsch was awarded the Villa Romana Prize in Florence, and in 1967 he was a guest of honor at the Villa Massimo in Rome. Gouache/paper. L. a. monogr.; exhibition label verso.
