Abstract:
Includes CD with portfolio of selected works (paintings). This memoir was written by Gusti Wyman at the age of 84. She begins by discussing her current life in Colorado, and then recounts her experience in Austria in 1937. Gusti Wyman had moved from Austria to America in 1938. Gusti had been trained in Austria as an ice skater. She relied on this training to carve a way for herself as a teenager starting out in the US. Gusti discusses her family and the lives they made for themselves in America. Photos accompany the text. Gusti's father, Julius Goldberg, was a musician who played with a small group in Austria, before moving to America. On page 72 there is a photo of Julius Goldberg seated with Albert Einstein and August Piccard, at a musical session in Professor Ehrenhaft's house in Vienna in 1937.
