Werner Gothein was a German painter, sculptor, printmaker and ceramicist-designer.
Gothein studied art in Berlin and mastered the techniques of painting, sculpture and wood engraving. In the 1920s, he began designing ceramic objects for the Karlsruhe State Maiolica Manufactory and the Felten-Vordamm ceramic factories.
In 1937, as part of the Nazi "Degenerate Art" campaign, Gothein's graphics were withdrawn from German museums and collections, most of them later destroyed. After the end of World War II, the artist continued to create woodcuts.
