Jungnickel depicted in the catalogue Chrastek, Widder 2019, p. 105, N° 277 ESTIMATE °€ 80 - € 200 STARTING PRICE € 80 The German-Austrian artist L. H. Jungnickel was the son of a carpenter. In 1885, the family moved to Munich, where he attended the School of Applied Arts. The archaeologist Orazio Maruchi made it possible for him to make copies in the Vatican collections. Their quality was so good that it was suggested that he train as a church painter. For this purpose, Ludwig Heinrich Jungnickel became a pupil at the Tanzenberg monastery near Klagenfurt. In 1899, he moved to Vienna and enrolled at the Vienna Academy in the general painting school under Christian Griepenkerl. Around 1900, he worked for the Cologne chocolate manufacturer Ludwig Stollwerck with designs for Stollwerck collector pictures. After returning from a trip to Hungary, in 1902, he enrolled with Alfred Roller at the arts and crafts school of the k. k. Museum of Art and Industry. In 1905 Jungnickel went to Munich to study at the Academy of Fine Arts with Professor Marr and returned in 1906 to the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts (William Unger). His breakthrough came with the publication of stencil spraying images he invented after the art magazine The Studio. In 1906, he exhibited at the Vienna Secession, but never became a member. Employee of the Wiener Werkstätte. Probably his most important work for the WW were designs for an animal frieze for a nursery in the Palais Stoclet, Brussels. Jungnickel exhibited his first colour woodcuts at the Kunstschau Wien in 1908, which was followed in 1909 by a series of colour woodcuts of animals from Schönbrunn Zoo. At the International Art Exhibition in Rome in 1911, he received the graphic artist prize and in Amsterdam the gold medal. He was awarded the State Medal of the International Exhibition for the Book Trade and Graphics Bugra n Leipzig, 1914, and in 1915, he won the silver and bronze medals of the International Exhibition in San Francisco. In 1911, Jungnickel became a professor in the specialist class for graphic arts in Frankfurt. In the same year, he presented colour woodcuts with views of Frankfurt. In 1912, he returned to Vienna and worked on wallpaper designs, bookplates and animal woodcuts. Study trips led Jungnickel to Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1912 and to Hungary in 1914. During the World War, Jungnickel increasingly switched from graphic work to drawings with charcoal, chalk and pencil. At the end of 1915 he served in the German army for six months. In 1917, he made a folder with six colour woodcuts of animals from the fable, which were later expanded to include 24 colour lithographs to illustrate Aesop's animal fables from antiquity and were published in 1919 by Verlag Schroll in bound form. In 1918, Jungnickel received Austrian citizenship. The Italian sketchbook with 40 lithographs was published in 1921 and 1922 by Haybach-Verlag Vienna, L. H. Jungnickel - Studies from the Spanish Riding School. In the 1920s, he undertook numerous journeys that took him to Germany, Holland, Italy and Yugoslavia. In Italy and Yugoslavia, mainly pictures of coastal landscapes emerged. Apparently Jungnickel was also a student at the Bauhaus in Weimar; the annual folder published in 1919 by the Society for Reproducing Art in Vienna "Students of the Bauhaus" contains his lithograph "Reitschule" (Riding School). From 1924, Jungnickel was a member of the Wiener Künstlerhaus, where he took part in exhibitions. In 1930, he received the Austrian State Prize for Fine Arts and the Golden Medal of Honour from the Vienna Artists' Cooperative, in 1937 the Grand Austrian State Prize for Fine Arts; participation in the Great German Art Exhibition 1937 in Munich with the drawing of a Dalmatian donkey. Since the president of the Vienna Künstlerhaus did not pass on his Aryan certificate to the authorities and he was probably denounced for having contacts with Jews, Jungnickel emigrated to Opatija. Meanwhile his flat was searched by the Gestapo and in 1945 his studio was destroyed in an air raid. Jungnickel was sentenced in absentia for "anti-state activities".
