Karl Gatermann II
Karl Gatermann typically referred to in art circles as Karl Gatermann the Younger, was a German painter, graphic artist, and set designer. Gatermann trained as a decorator while working for his father in Zerbst. He attended art school at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Dessau in 1926 and from 1927 studied at Bauhaus Dessau. From 1935 until the beginning of World War II, he studied in Munich at the Academy of Fine Arts. As a set designer, he worked at the Bavarian State Opera in Munich as well as at the opera houses in Magdeburg and Bernburg; he also worked at Bavaria Film in Munich, on the sets of feature film Philine. After the war, Gatermann mainly painted landscape oil paintings from the Munich area. The Munich art publishing house Emil Köhn purchased many of his mountain paintings and reproduced them as art postcards. Gatermann declared himself as the first painter of the Munich parkland. His style approached late-impressionism during this period.
