He was born in 1870 in Neuchâtel. Poetzsch went to Paris in 1892 and joined the Julian Academy. He entered the Fine Art School in 1895 and studied in the class of Gustave Moreau near Henri Matisse, Charles Camoin and Paul de Frick. In 1896, he married Marie-Louise Aulagne, a well-known milliner established on the Faubourg Saint Honoré. The rich clientele of his wife gave him a continuous source of inspiration. He exhibited at the Salon at the Independents from 1895 and also at the Salon of French Artists and the National Society of Fine Arts. He took part in the 1900's Universal Exhibition located in Paris. The work of Gustave Poetzsch showed daily life scenes, landscapes and still lives. He possessed a house in Yssingeaux in the French department of Haute-Loire1. One can see today in Carnavalet Museum his drawings realized during the German defeat in 1944. A retrospective of his works took place in the Neufchatel's Museum of Fine Arts in 1950. -- Bibliography: Bénézit - Dictionnaire des peintres, sculpteurs, dessinateurs et graveurs. Gründ 1999.
