Günter Horn

... is a German Painter and Graphic artist (* 18. August 1935 in Berlin). He is married with the well-known theater- and film actress Karin Ugowski and is living and working in his country estate in the North countryside of Germany. His oilpaintings portraing the changeable weather of the North of Germany are very admired in theater- and film quartes, possibly reasoned by his earlier work as a scene builder and stage designer for many big theater directors in the late 1970's.

From 1965 to 1967 he was sponsored by the well-known painter and graphic artist Otto Nagel and is today considered his last surviving student. Since 1969 Günter Horn has been a freelance painter and graphic artist.

His artistic work is often divided into two phases. In the period from 1969 to 1985, many oil paintings and lithographs were created in reference to his hometown of Berlin. The houses with the frameless black windows and the Berlin firewalls are probably the most famous motifs that repeatedly appeared in his oil paintings, etchings and lithographs. They probably symbolize the metropolitan anonymity and the often described as cold and gray effect of Berlin at the time, with the old buildings from World War II in East Berlin, some of which were still heavily destroyed. These pictures were also shown in exhibitions in Iraq, Lisbon, Moscow and Tokyo.

performed by the actress Karin Ugowski and her guests can be a good occasion for the viewing of the paintings of her Husband, the painter and graphic artist Guenter Horn and are arranged frequently at the picturesquely situated old farmstead or in the near of this area.

Yearly repeating autumn-readings and spontaneously arranged events for Anniversaries or other occasions connected to other well-known artists are permanent proceeding features.

The works shown here are sorted by their technique in the main menu like oil, lithography, etching and drawing and lead to an overview exhibition under this category: Clicking one of these previews of the art work in this online exhibition links to a popup of the art work and its bigger presentation. The labels and descriptions below the art work previews are common categories in graphic art and painting and can be used to sort and filter art works independent from the menu category. There are techniques again (like oil and etching), motif series (like Berlin or Farmstead close-ups) and subjects/studies (like Stil life or portrait). These categories can be used to filter the art work the other way around despite of which menu item and technique was chosen before.

Further art works can be found in the stocks of several art work galleries, museums and exhibitions worldwide. For acquisition of art work it is not guaranteed but possible to arrange sightings in the exhibition rooms of the artist on demand. Please use the contact form (in the main menu) to provide more information about your interest and we will forward your inquiry.

... pictures intrinsically exist and where the artist paints them as seen thru' his eyes, is a designoid, elemental fairytale-like, nature enclosed country estate with a red-brown farmhouse, on the edge of the woods, in the middle of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, and where the atelier with its inside balcony and clay oven, the double sided red-brown former farmhouse with the glas-roofed gallery, the additional country-style summer gallery in the old "derelict barn" and actually the whole country estate itself frequently became a dynamic hub for events, concerts, peotry, readings, exhibitions. To this day.

Like every year, there will be a another special reading with the theater & film actress Karin Ugowski for the start of the Advent season in the atmospheric barn of the idyllic country estate, framed by the artworks of her husband, the painter and graphic artist Günter Horn. And like every year, it will be certainly be topped off with one or two glasses of wine and a conversation in the ambience of her husband's wonderful paintings.
