Godela Habel

Godela Habel was born in Deutsch Krone, Posen-West Prussia, Weimar Germany, on 18 September 1929. She studied painting and graphic design from 1950 to 1953 at art schools in Wuppertal and Hanover. Known for her paintings and collages, she combined the methods of drawing and painting in her occasionally secretive work and made allowance for individual associations and interpretations. In February 2000, she displayed at an exhibition about "The Paint Theme" (German: "Thema Farbe") at Künstlerforum, Bonn, some more or less compacted lines and areas on paper and used paint in minutely shaded levels of brown, white and black, which were infiltrated by a hint of red. In the 1990s she completed her collage work and focused on drawings. She lived and worked in Mehren. Habel died in Potsdam on 12 February 2022, at the age of 92.
