Ursula Jobst: Memorial exhibition opens in the Lindenau Museum!
An important memorial exhibition for the versatile artist and committed art educator Ursula Jobst will open in the Lindenau Museum Altenburg from July 18, 2025. Under the title “Drawing Board and Pincushion,” works from different phases of Jobst’s work will be presented until October 19, 2025, including paper cuts, textile applications, collages and graphic prints. The opening of the exhibition will take place on Thursday, July 17, 2025, at 6 p.m. at the museum's interim location at Kunstgasse 1. Entry to the exhibition is free, which is welcoming to art enthusiasts and the general public.
Ursula Jobst, who died in Altenburg in November 2024 at the age of 95, left an impressive legacy. She played a central role in the re-establishment of the Fine Arts Studio in 1971, which continues today as the “studio” of the Lindenau Museum. Jobst took up educational policy ideas from museum founder Bernhard August von Lindenau and thus laid the foundation for today's course offerings, which are aimed at all generations.
Artistic work and pedagogical significance
For almost 50 years, Ursula Jobst offered practical art lessons in Altenburg and was known for her ability to encourage others in their artistic development. Especially from 1960 onwards, she led children's painting circles in the Volkshaus and Pioneer House as well as in the Rositz lignite combine. Her passion for art education is also reflected in her many years as director of the Fine Arts Studio, which she held until her retirement in 1989.
In the exhibition, selected works by Jobst are shown at the KUNSTWAND in the interim. These works illustrate the diverse artistic techniques that Jobst mastered and which she passed on to students in her lessons. “It is important to recognize the importance of Ursula Jobst for art education in Thuringia,” says Dr. Benjamin Spira, who will speak about her life's work at the opening.
The exhibition “Drawing Board and Pincushion” is not only a homage to the artist, but also a meeting place for everyone who is interested in art and its communication.
