Henri Gustave Goetschy (13 September 1846 – 11 August 1902) was a French writer, journalist, art critic, and publication director.

Early life

Henri Gustave Goetschy was born on September 13, 1846, in Percey, son of attorney Charles Pierre Goetschy (1807-1880), and Aglaé Lemaire (1827-1898). The Goetschys are from Porrentruy, Switzerland, where their grandfather, Jean-Joseph Goetschy (1751-1825), who was also a judge during the French Revolution, had founded a printing press.[1]

Career

In 1878, he published an essay with Ludovic Baschet, "Les Jeunes Peintres Militaires", dealing with Alphonse de Neuville, Édouard Detaille and Henri-Louis Dupray. In 1886, he prefaced a sales catalog of Neuville's works. Gustave Goetschy also wrote in the Revue illustrée, Le Voltaire and La Vie moderne. In 1881, he published a theatrical work, Our Professor, a monologue in one act.

In 1886, as an art critic for Le Matin , he launched Matin-Salon,[2] an annual periodical devoted to Parisian painting salons. Two years later, he launched, in partnership with the gallery owner Georges Petit, the illustrated almanac Paris-Noël, in the same format, published every December. Gustave Goetschy was the director of the publication until 1902.[3] The title was bought the following November by Alfred Edwards, founder of Le Matin, and his brother-in-law Jean-Baptiste Charcot.[4]

In 1888, he also launched L'Illustré moderne, a "journal-library" offering chronicles on art, short stories and novels, a periodical which seemed to disappear in 1890.[5]

He died in the 7th arrondissement of Paris on August 11, 1902.[6]
