Arnulf Wallner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arnulf Wallner (born May 14, 1936 in Bamberg , † June 21, 1975 in Würzburg ) was a German painter and graphic artist .

Life

After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich , Wallner worked as an art teacher in Würzburg from 1961 . He worked as a senior teacher and drawing teacher at the Roentgen Gymnasium in Würzburg . From 1967 he created figurative drawings and paintings with small-scale internal structures, often based on the geometric shapes triangle, square and circle. The detailed representation of human nudity - Wallner saw himself in the tradition of the graphic artists of the Renaissance - repeatedly scandalized his exhibitions in the 1970s . An exhibition in the Städtische Galerie with ballpoint pen nudes by the artist had to be closed because the bishops' conference in Würzburg took offense.
