Werner Gutzeit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Werner Gutzeit (* 1. Dezember 1932 in Kopenhagen) is a German-Danish painter, cubist.
In Kopenhagen, he has studied arts and graphic arts, later pedagogic. Still in Denmark, he was working as graphic designer and educator. Today, he is living in northern Germany. Since 1982, he is freelance artist. He illustrated several books and designed stamps and calendars for a Danish foreign mission organisation.
Werner Gutzeit prefers cubism, but he also paints modern icons and impressionistic landscapes. Many of his paintings are abstract.
His trademark since the 50ies is the “goosefish”, a mythical creature which is to be found in many of his works. He designs not only reversible sculptures, but also sculptures made of clay and other materials. Other motifs that can be found in his works are harlequin, cat and pumpkin. The pumpkin symbolizes for him the perfection of nature.
