Live and act
Kumpf was born the son of a country doctor. He has lived in Breitenbrunn am Neusiedler See ( Burgenland ) since 1968 .
The main subject of his painting are landscapes, which he creates in a naive style. The trademark of his pictures is the anti-social , which can usually be found hidden in some corner of the picture.
He designed the motorway service station in Göttlesbrunn and the thermal baths in Stegersbach , but in 2004 most of the elements designed by Kumpf were removed as part of a renovation. Together with Thomas Brezina , he wrote a series of picture books. He has also designed several postage stamps for the Austrian Post and for the United Nations Postal Administration .
In 2005 he designed bronze sculptures of the 12 signs of the zodiac , which had previously been used in a series of telephone prepaid cards for the Austrian Post.
Gottfried Kumpf was married to the visual artist and librettist Maria Plachky (1920–1982).
