August Friedrich Zintl

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

August Friedrich Zintl (born August 5, 1900 in Weiden in the Upper Palatinate , † 1956 Munich ) was a German graphic artist and landscape painter . Zintl also signed with the first name Hans .

Life

From the winter semester of 1920, Zintl studied graphics at the Munich Art Academy with Peter Halm and Adolf Schinnerer . In 1921 he was on a study trip to Italy. In 1928 he won a scholarship from the city of Munich and traveled with it to North Africa, Greece and Turkey.

In his graphics, Zintl was more indebted to the Halms school; his oil paintings were mainly influenced by Schinnerer. Zintl developed his own color scheme in the 1920s . He did not paint his landscapes in realistic natural colors, but used strong mixed tones such as violet pink, moss or reseda green almost without contours next to each other. The landscape pictures develop an unreal, fantastic mood with a backdrop-like effect, which corresponded to the fashion style of the 1920s and 1930s.

Zintl died in 1956 and was buried in the forest cemetery in Munich .

His brother was the chemist Eduard Zintl .
