Description

Joachim Berthold 20th Century Original Unframed Signed Gouache. Man with Shadows. Matte 8 x 11 art 6.25" x 9.25" Approx Joachim Berthold, born 1917 in Eisenach, lived and worked until his death in 1990 in Oberaudorf am Inn. In 1936 he began his training at the renow­ ned Werkschule in Cologne. There he met his artist colleague and later wife Gisela Berthold­Sames and he continued his studies until 1941 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. From 1945 he worked as a freelance sculptor. This was followed by hard artist years in which the execution of any commissioned work to secure a livelihood left little time for free work. Gradually, the situation improved until, from the 1960s, it gained interna­tional renown through more and more numerous and important exhibitions at home and abroad, large orders from industry and cities as well as mu­seum acquisitions.
