Leo Goetz
Leonhard "Leo" Goetz, (1883 – 1962), German Painter.
Leo Goetz was born in 1883 in Weiden/Oberpfalz (Germany). He studied
painting and sketching in Weiden and Munich. At the Royal Bavarian
Academie of Pictorial Arts, where Franz von Stuck was professor
at this time, he was fellow of Martin von Feuerstein and Adolf Hengeler,
two Art Nouveau artists and well known professors. In 1914 he moved
to Hof/Saale. From 1914 to 1918 he joined the German Army and fought
at the western front. During that time he painted several postcards
for the imperial army. From 1918 until 1962 he lived in Hof/Saale,
where he died on 3rd of November 1962.
His most famous works have been the decoration of the church of
St. Mary in Hof/Saale in 1925, the war memorials at the chapel of
Marlesreuth, the paintings for the entrance hall at the former Panda
Schuhfabrik in Naila.
The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes
that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the
world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even
draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend
to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces
can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from
the existing paintings.h
