life and work
Angerer studied in London and Munich and graduated with a Magister artium.
For many decades it has been represented nationally and internationally at many exhibitions and is mainly known for its versatility, which ranges from feeding pictures to natural, but also technically produced shadow painting. Like his brother, he is considered a representative of fantastic realism.
In 2000 he was awarded the Upper Bavarian Culture Prize of the Upper Bavaria District . He also received the Bad Reichenhall Culture Prize .
In 2005 he created a portrait of Pope Benedict XVI. in a limited screen print for the city of Traunstein. The original painting was personally presented to the Pope during the general audience on September 7, 2005 by a Traunstein delegation with District Administrator Hermann Stein Maßl and Pastor Sebastian Heindl. His portrait of Hans Pfitzner in 2003 on the occasion of the Pfitzner anniversary year also met with a great response. Angerer lives in Siegsdorf .
For the summit path on the Rauschberg in Ruhpolding , he created many huge sculptures, including Adam's hand and a portrait of a composer and a dancing mountain spirit. All are designed as a feeding picture , placed on high stands and clearly tower above the vegetation. In the waiting area of the mountain station of the Rauschbergbahn there are other works by Angerer the Younger such as a brightly painted feeding stick (a pillar of an alpine hut from around 1885). Watercolors by him can also be seen here.
