{"id":1640,"count":0,"description":"Ferdinand G\u00f6tz was born in F\u00fcrth in 1874 and died in Paris in 1941. He was Jewish and devoted himself professionally to both architecture and art painting.\n\nIn 1895, G\u00f6tz moved to Munich and began his studies at the Munich Art Academy, where he studied under the German-American artist, university lecturer and later rector Carl von Marr, among others. G\u00f6tz proved to be an extremely versatile artist. He created decors, designer furniture and stage sets for the theater. From 1900, he worked as an illustrator for the German magazine \u201cJugend\u201d, which gave its name to the later \u201cJugendstil\u201d style.\n\nBetween 1899 and around 1928, he was a regular illustrator for the satirical magazine \u201cMeggendorfer Bl\u00e4tter\u201d and the \u201cFliegende Bl\u00e4tter\u201d, where he worked as a draughtsman and caricaturist. He produced around 80 drawings for the \u201cFliegende Bl\u00e4tter\u201d in particular between 1930 and 1935.\n\nOne notable project was his involvement in the extension of the luxury Grand Hotel Continental in Munich in 1910. Together with Ludwig Hohlwein, G\u00f6tz was responsible for the addition of a fourth storey and the interior design of the new fourth floor with 18 guest rooms.\n\nHis life changed dramatically with the rise of National Socialism. As a Jew, he was denied membership of the Reichskammer der Bildenden K\u00fcnste, which forced him to live abroad from 1936. He finally settled in Paris, where he died in 1941, presumably by suicide.","link":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/c\/artist-en-2\/ferdinand-gotz-en\/","name":"Ferdinand G\u00f6tz","slug":"ferdinand-gotz-en","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":1857,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/1640","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/1857"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=1640"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
