Born in 1946, I am Austrian by birth and Patagonian by adoption. I was brought to Argentina, aged 3, by my parents who had felt at close range the ravages of war in Europe. I spent my childhood among the Dunes of Gesell, instilling me with a love of nature. Many years and relocations later, I lived for a time in the region of City Bell, near Pereyra Iraola Park, where I explored the park’s fascinating light and made numerous watercolor paintings.
My mother cultivated in me a taste for music, which led me to study at Conservatorio Gilardo Gilardi in La Plata, where maestro Adalberto Tortorella developed in me a well-rounded sense of what constitutes art.
Under the guidance of my father, I traveled and painted in the south of Argentina. On many other trips, I studied the great masters of art at museums and collections in South America, the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Middle East, and in Europe. Simultaneously, I perfected the technique of painting “au plein air” and adopted the palette knife as my primary painting tool. I opened solo shows in Jerusalem, Paris, Stuttgart, Barcelona, and Granada, showing works of Patagonia.
Married and with our first small children already born, I took my family to live in Spain for four years where I exhibited my works in various cities, sharing with people a reflection of Patagonia. Of special note during our stay were the paintings I made of pasturelands, animal herds, and the hidden corners of Andalucia, which today have disappeared from Granada.
Returning to Argentina, we settled in the Sierras of Córdoba. In 1990, I worked with my friend and collaborator Jorge Bonzano to open “Sala de Georg” in Villa Giardino, a first home for my work. We then moved to San Martin de los Andes, where I live today. My work has since rotated around exhibitions in Rosario, Córdoba, Buenos Aires, Bariloche, Mar del Plata, and abroad in Granada, Almeria, and in San Francisco and Montecito in California- over 300 individual exhibitions.
In 1993, we opened “Three Generations Miciu” in Villa Allenda, Córdoba, where my work was accompanied by those of my father, brother, and son Emaús. A variation on this exhibit later appeared in Buenos Aires at the National Museum of Decorative Art. That same year, I painted “Truchas y lupinos” (Trout and Lupines), an oil painting that marked a shift towards the style I continue to develop today.
Two years later, Grinfeld Fine Arts opened a “Sala de Georg” in Palm Beach, Florida. Grinfeld also printed limited edition prints and lithographs, for wider distribution of my work.
In 2005, we published “Georg,” a synthesis of my trajectory. A year later, Jorge Bonzano worked with me again to commence the construction of the building that is, in a sense, the aim of this catalog.
