Gustav Szathmáry is a project
realised during a one year stay at the Kuenstlerhäuser
in Worpswede in 2003. Worpswede is a small village in
the north of Germany and was an artist colony in the
beginning of the 20th century, founded by
artists Otto Modersohn and Heinrich Vogeler, whos
intention was to escape from the city to find a new
spirit in art on the country side. The most famous
artist of that time was Paula Modersohn-Becker, who is
still worshiped and a magnet for tourism. She had a
controversial life and died young at the age of 34,
after giving birth to a daughter. In this context the character of
Gustav Szathmáry is placed to be engaged with Paula
Modersohn-Becker.
