WALTER HONEDER* (Hadersdorf-Weidlingau 1906 - 2006 Innsbruck ) Snowy village oil/board 44 x 53 cm signed Honeder ESTIMATE € 1600 - € 2600 STARTING PRICE € 1600 The Austrian artist Walter Honeder came from a family of artists. His father was a talented self-taught artist; Alfons Walde was Walter Honeder's cousin. Honeder studied at the Vienna School of Applied Arts before settling in Innsbruck in 1930 as a freelance painter and sculptor. Here he worked primarily as a painter of landscapes, as a portraitist, draftsman and designer of monumental murals in public spaces. After his years as a soldier in the Second World War and his American prisoner of war, he returned to Innsbruck. He first encountered works of French modernism at the French Cultural Institute in the Tyrolean capital. This proved to be a key experience for his work. From 1949 onwards, Honeder was particularly active in the "art in architecture campaign" launched by the Tyrolean state government and designed numerous murals, sgraffiti and mosaics. In 2006, the Innsbruck City Museum dedicated a large exhibition to Walter Honeder.
