life and work
Emil Kneiß enrolled in the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich on October 28, 1885 . Back then, his father Ludwig Kneiß worked in this city as an actor and secretary at the Gärtnerplatztheater .
Kneiß created oil paintings like a river landscape with paper mills from 1916, but above all ink drawings with genre scenes.
These had titles like Hokuspopolis / Humbugwaya ....! or The basement life from a bird's eye and a frog's perspective (1911). Kneiß had already played with an unusual perspective in an illustration from 1896 that showed cyclists and their shadows from above.
The stink badger (around 1935) or in the Ratskeller (1933). are drawn a little more conventionally. Kneiß 'caricature of the Munich protection team from 1928 is sold as a postcard in the Bavarian Army Museum in Ingolstadt .
In the estate of Bally Prell there was an ink drawing from 1935 showing Gambrinus and Münchner Kindl , the latter with the Prell trains, bathing in the company of scantily clad women in the Rhine .
Emil Kneiß was very interested in the subject of mobility. He was among the illustrators of the Festschrift des Radfahr-Humor. For the XVI. Bundestag des DRB , published in 1899 by Bassermann & Bruckmann, and in 1900 among the founders of the Allgemeine Schnauferl Club . He also initiated the magazine Das Schnauferl and worked for Gustav Braunbeck's magazine Der Motor . For the exhibition German Air Warfare , which was shown in Munich in 1918, he created a lithographed poster showing a black eagle sitting on a crashed double-decker.
Emil Kneiß published numerous pictures in the youth and in the Simplicissimus . He also created many posters as well as the mascots of the Bräustüberl at Tegernsee , the dog Buzi and his owner, which can be seen on a mural there.
Kneiß also dealt with the topic of animation film . In 1922 the three-minute film Texas Jack Tames a Wild Horse was made .
Motifs by Kneiß are still popular: Dorit Müller's book dangerous journeys. The automobile in literature and film around 1900 from 2004 bears a drawing by Kneiß called Cinematography in the Country from 1905 on the cover. The Oktoberfest mug of 2012 was decorated with a postcard motif Kneiß '. In spring 2013, the University of Bamberg showed the exhibition Gross Truths - True Gross Truths.
