Franz Windhager (1879 Vienna - 1959 Vienna) was a very well-known
Viennese artist who was mainly active during the time between the two
world wars. He had a reputation of having a great artistic sense and a
lively character. He was interested in the bipolarity of the time
between the wars, as well as different layers of the society he lived
in. The latter interest served him with the nick-name "dialect-painter"
(or jargon-painter) that his friends granted him with.
Franz Windhager studied at the Vienna Academy with Christian
Griepenkerl and Franz Rumpler and from 1900 onwards at the Academy in
Karlsruhe with Ludwig Schmid-Reutte. Numerous study trips took him
through Germany and Italy. In 1909 he became a Member of the Vienna
"Kuenstlerhaus". Windhager worked as a painter and illustrator. During
the WWI , Windhager worked as a war painter in the Russian and Italian
theater of war. In the post-war period, Windhager continued to work in
Vienna, painting, among other things, building views.
