Bernd Schwarzer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bernd Schwarzer (24 July 1954) is a German artist born in Weimar, Thuringia, Germany. Schwarzer's work deals with the subject of Europe, the reunification of East and West Germany, and human rights.
Bernd Schwarzer's family moved from Weimar to Düsseldorf in 1959, where his father became a renowned doctor. Schwarzer showed a strong passion for art and design from an early age, which was encouraged by his father. Old photographs of Schwarzer show him painting at the family's kitchen table in Düsseldorf. As a teenager, Schwarzer studied artists such as Vincent van Gogh, and imitated some paintings such as "Homages."
Between 1976 and 1983, he studied fine arts with Werner Schriefers at the Technical University of Cologne. In 1978, he undertook a two-year fine arts study with Gerhard Hoehme at the Kunstakademie, Düsseldorf, where he studied under Joseph Beuys. Since 1984, Schwarzer has worked as an artist in Düsseldorf, Köln, and Weimar. Schwarzer has also been a master student under Werner Schriefers at the Kölner Fachhochschule, specializing in art and design. Since 2000, Schwarzer has been a guest professor at the Belarusian State Academy of Arts in Minsk, Republic of Belarus.
