The Austrian painter and graphic artist Alfred Kornberger studied painting with Robin Christian Andersen at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. In 1956, he completed his studies with a diploma and received the Golden Füger Medal. Stylistically, he dealt with the different facets of classical modernism and was inspired by Pablo Picasso's late work as well as by the depictions of surrealist artists. In his early years he devoted himself to various topics from the world of industry as well as topographical representations. Later he turned almost exclusively to depicting the female nude. Kornberger's work fits into the great Austrian tradition of physical art, which extends from Egon Schiele to Alfred Hrdlicka. The Alfred Kornberger Foundation was founded with the aim of establishing Kornberger's work sustainably nationally and internationally and, in addition to the work already done on the painting work, also on processing the graphic work.
