Austrian painter of the 20th century, especially of the interwar period. Main representative of the New Objectivity. Born in Breslau and grew up in Linz in Upper Austria. Studied architecture and chemistry in Vienna from 1910. Together with Anton Lutz, Franz and Klemens Brosch and Heinz Bitzan, he founded in 1913 the Linz artists' association MAERZ. Worked from 1921 at the Technical Museum in Vienna in the Department of Chemical Industry. 1927 Member of the Vienna Secession. From 1928 friendship with Herbert Reyl-Hanisch, also stylistic proximity to his works.. 1939 War deployment in Stalingrad, Norway and Poland, considered missing in action since 1945. Inspired by the art of Romanticism and Flemish-Dutch painting by Joachim Patinier, Joss de Momper, Pieter Bruegel the Elder and Michael Wuttky. Stylistically located between Magic Realism and New Objectivity. Created mainly romantic landscapes, magical worlds, floral still lifes and winter pictures with skiers or snowball fights in old master painting style. In the dream worlds cavort bizarre and grotesque creatures combined with set pieces from technology and everyday life. Fantastic, partly gloomy mood reminds one of Alfred Kubin or the texts of Gustav Meyrink and Edgar Allen Poe.
