Karl Goldschmidt was born in Elbefeld, Germany where he studied graphic art and was initially influenced by the German Expressionists. With the rise of fascism, he left Germany as Hitler came to power in 1933 and traveled to Mallorca where he met, and befriended, the English poet and author Robert Graves. Goldschmidt was employed by Graves as translator, editor and assistant until 1937 when he was evacuated to England on a British Destroyer at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. A committed anti-fascist, Goldschmidt served in the British Navy during World War II and was provided with an English name to enable his survival in the event of his becoming a prisoner of war.
After the war, he was granted full British citizenship and, choosing to keep his adopted name, returned to Mallorca to work with Graves. Now as Kenneth Gay, but still called 'Karl' by his friends, Goldschmidt remained in Mallorca and served Graves as his invaluable assistant until 1965. "Above all, he gave of his editorial acumen. He insisted on the highest standards - however many drafts were required. Graves's large production would have been impossible without Gay's help. He was the dedicatee of two of Graves's books, 'The Long Week-End' and 'The Anger of Achilles' (1959), Graves's translation of The Iliad to which the dedication reads: "To Kenneth Gay, in gratitude for twenty-five years of patient critical help". - Obituary, The Independent.
In 1968, Goldschmidt became the curator of the poetry collection of the State University College at Buffalo where he served until 1978. The collection, which includes manuscripts, periodicals, books and recordings, has sizable holdings of Graves's manuscripts and publications. During Goldschmidt's tenure as curator, the overall collection more than doubled in size, to more than 65,000 items. He then returned to Mallorca where he lived for the remainder of his life.

"Roses" is a captivating oil painting that beautifully captures the essence of a classic still life. Set against a subdued, yet striking grey background, the focal point of the artwork is a lush arrangement of vibrant red roses, exuding elegance and allure. The artist has skillfully portrayed the delicate petals of the roses, meticulously capturing their velvety texture and intricate details. Each blossom appears to be in various stages of bloom, showcasing the ephemeral nature of life and the passing of time. The roses are elegantly arranged in a graceful green vase, adding a refreshing burst of color to the composition. The artist has paid careful attention to the vase, with its gentle curves and subtle variations in hue, lending a sense of realism and depth to the painting. The contrast between the radiant red roses and the cool grey backdrop creates a visually captivating effect, enhancing the prominence of the floral arrangement. The grey background, while muted, provides a neutral and harmonious setting that allows the vibrant roses to take center stage. The painting "Roses" is a celebration of nature's beauty and serves as a timeless reminder of the fragility and transience of life. Through its masterful use of color, composition, and attention to detail, this oil painting invites viewers to immerse themselves in the serenity and elegance of a classic still life.
