WILHELM KAUFMANN* (Vienna 1895 - 1975 Vienna) Boxers oil/hardboard 50 x 65 cm signed Wilhelm Kaufmann SCHÄTZPREIS / ESTIMATE € 2000 - 4000 STARTPREIS / STARTING PRICE € 2000 The Austrian painter Wilhelm Kaufmann grew up in the district movement "Wandervogel" and visited the Vienna School of Art (now Academy for Applied Art) after his Matura. After studying painting, he became an employee of Anton Faistauer in 1923 in the design of the frescoes in the Morzger parish church. He was a member of the Salzburg "Special Association of Austrian Artists" and worked with Anton Kolig and Robin Christian Andersen in 1926 to produce the gobelins for the Salzburg Festival House. Between 1938 and 1945 he lived in "inner emigration", mostly in Pinzgau, and guarded the works of the Jewish painter Helene von Taussig. After the war, he took part in the cultural reconstruction. He visited England, where he was known as a portraitist before World War II. In 1952 he became an art teacher at the Westtown School in Pennsylvania, USA. In 1953 and 1957 he lived in Canada as a teacher and free painter. In several trips to the jungle of Lambaréné, Gabun, merchant Albert Schweitzer met. In numerous wall paintings, Kaufmann draws a picture-book clear narrative style. His portraits are mostly pastos-coloristic. His central theme was always the search for harmony between nature and human civilization. In the nineties he created numerous color lithographs of his oil paintings with Martin Gredler in the printing workshop of the Slavi Soucek Foundation in the Trakl House, Salzburg. From 1995 to 1998 he showed these in the gallery "1 Blick. Kunst im Vorhaus" (Hallein) in nine individual exhibitions. As a result of a trip he made around 1980, the twinning of the city of Salzburg with Singida in Tanzania was established in 1984 (Wilhelm Kaufmann Prize for Development Cooperation).

WILHELM KAUFMANN* (Vienna 1895 - 1975 Vienna) Hall at Admont, 1957 oil/fiber board 50 x 70 cm signed Wilhem Kaufmann verso inscribed 1957 Hall b. Admont SCHÄTZPREIS / ESTIMATE € 2000 - 3000 STARTPREIS / STARTING PRICE € 2000 In this painting, Wilhelm Kaufmann presents us with a peaceful winter scene, devoid of human presence, which he captured in Hall near Admont, in Styria. As a member of the Hagenbund, Kaufmann preferred painting outdoors, and this oil painting was likely created under the direct impression of the snow-covered landscape at the foot of the Haller Mauern mountain range. Bare trees frame the view towards the valley. The artist skillfully leads the viewer's gaze over a wooden fence and into a secluded forest. The snow is untouched, and no houses or people are in sight. With lively and dynamic brushstrokes, Kaufmann portrays the branches of the trees, some covered with snow, and the conifers that sporadically stand out from the forest. The valley, nestled between the mountain ridges, is only faintly suggested. The winter sun shines on the thick snow blanket of the meadow, casting the natural landscape in a warm, yellow light. The Austrian painter Wilhelm Kaufmann grew up in the district movement "Wandervogel" and visited the Vienna School of Art (now Academy for Applied Art) after his Matura. After studying painting, he became an employee of Anton Faistauer in 1923 in the design of the frescoes in the Morzger parish church.

WILHELM KAUFMANN* (Vienna 1895 - 1975 Vienna) Bouquet of flowers reverse glass painting 51 x 41,9 cm signed Wilhelm Kaufmann SCHÄTZPREIS / ESTIMATE € 800 - 1600 STARTPREIS / STARTING PRICE € 800 The Austrian painter Wilhelm Kaufmann grew up in the district movement "Wandervogel" and visited the Vienna School of Art (now Academy for Applied Art) after his Matura. After studying painting, he became an employee of Anton Faistauer in 1923 in the design of the frescoes in the Morzger parish church. He was a member of the Salzburg "Special Association of Austrian Artists" and worked with Anton Kolig and Robin Christian Andersen in 1926 to produce the gobelins for the Salzburg Festival House. Between 1938 and 1945 he lived in "inner emigration", mostly in Pinzgau, and guarded the works of the Jewish painter Helene von Taussig. After the war, he took part in the cultural reconstruction. He visited England, where he was known as a portraitist before World War II. In 1952 he became an art teacher at the Westtown School in Pennsylvania, USA. In 1953 and 1957 he lived in Canada as a teacher and free painter. In several trips to the jungle of Lambaréné, Gabun, merchant Albert Schweitzer met. In numerous wall paintings, Kaufmann draws a picture-book clear narrative style. His portraits are mostly pastos-coloristic. His central theme was always the search for harmony between nature and human civilization. In the nineties he created numerous color lithographs of his oil paintings with Martin Gredler in the printing workshop of the Slavi Soucek Foundation in the Trakl House, Salzburg. From 1995 to 1998 he showed these in the gallery "1 Blick. Kunst im Vorhaus" (Hallein) in nine individual exhibitions. As a result of a trip he made around 1980, the twinning of the city of Salzburg with Singida in Tanzania was established in 1984 (Wilhelm Kaufmann Prize for Development Cooperation).
