Gordon Goetemann first came to Gloucester in the summer of 1954 to study with Umberto Romano. The experience set the course for his painting career. He received his M.F.A. from the State University of Iowa in Iowa City, and has taught at universities and colleges in Indiana, Minesota, Illinois, and Canada. In 1998 upon his retirement from teaching, he moved permanently to Gloucester, MA. Goetemann's work has been accessioned into the collections of the Cape Ann Museum and the Aldrick Museum of American Art, as well as many private and corporate collections. He and his wife Judith Steele Goetemann, also an artist, maintain a studio on Rocky Neck, Gloucester, MA.
The heroic narrative of life and glory - Mahler's Symphony Resurrection
We are creatures of God but we are not gods, contrary to our desire. Our capacity to imagine and to be awed by our visions pales quickly in the shadows of our mortality. We suffer; we struggle. Yet through it all we hope for our future immortality. Faith is our greatest gift, and without it there is no exit from the anxieties and the suffering with which life confronts us daily. Such is the content of Gustav Mahler's Symphony Resurrection, a heroic narrative of life and glory. – Gordon Goetemann
