The special exhibition of works by Dermbach artist WERNER SCHWARZ (1924-2010), which opened on September 13, 2024, came to a close on October 18 with a festive finissage. Many interested art lovers, as well as friends and acquaintances of the artist, visited the diverse exhibition at the ANNELIESE DESCHAUER Gallery in Geisa.
On the final day, members of the association had prepared a reception with coffee and homemade cakes for the visitors.
Sylvia Möller thanked the artist’s family on behalf of the association for providing over 60 works from the artistic estate of her ancestor. The final tour of the exhibition was led by the artist’s daughter, Kristin Mainzer from Dermbach. She presented some of her father’s works and spoke about his various creative periods up to the last few years. Due to illness, he could no longer hold the brush so well and therefore painted with his fingers. The audience particularly liked these paintings, as they have a refreshing and modern effect with their very strong color pigments and bright colors.
Kristin Mainzer thanked the town of Geisa for providing the gallery and the hard-working volunteer members of the Förderverein Kunst, Kultur und Wissenschaft Geisa e. V. with Chairwoman Doris Heim for their great commitment in organizing and implementing the exhibition concept.
According to Kristin Mainzer, this was the only way to fulfil her late mother’s wish to commemorate her father’s 100th birthday with an exhibition. As this was not possible due to renovation work at the museum in Dermbach, she was very grateful that the special exhibition could be held in the exceptionally beautiful setting of the ANNELIESE DESCHAUER Gallery.
