A blaze of colour
Else Streifer-Schröck exhibits at the town hall until 5 July. Her pour technique is famous.
The foyer of Gauting town hall was packed for the opening of Bis hierhin (“So far”), the retrospective Else had planned for her 80th birthday before the pandemic pushed it back. Among the works: the large-format pour painting Lichter Sommer, charcoal drawings from 1998 and her flower watercolours.
The article recalls that Else only began her studies at 42, at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich under Professor Jürgen Reipka, graduating as a master student in 1990, and that one of her pour paintings was bought by the Bavarian State Painting Collections while she was still a student. Mayor Dr. Brigitte Kössinger told the guests: “Your colourful paintings speak to us. They draw us in with their strength.”
“I love flowers, their colours and the lightness of their petals.”
Original title: „Eine Farbenpracht“. Summary translated from the German.
