Life and works
Hans Nolpa was the son of a master tailor. According to his own statements, he wanted to become a painter when he was fourteen, but at his mother's request he first completed an apprenticeship as a photographer and worked in this profession for about 15 years. At the age of 30 he entered Gabriel von Hackl's drawing class in 1908 and then studied for a few semesters at the Munich Art Academy in order to earn his living as an artist. Although he would have preferred to paint in the style of the Ostades, "life demanded", in his words, "advertising drawings, decorative paintings, carvings, craft designs and many other things". Nolpa preferred the woodcut technique . He worked in Dresden , Alsbach and Munich and was one of the employees of the Fliegende Blätter . In 1913 he published Tempera painting and its application in handicrafts and art and in 1922 the writing The flat cut in wood and linoleum along with the modeled flat cut . Both works were published by Otto Maier in Ravensburg . Among other things, Nolpa illustrated Ludwig Bechstein's Most Beautiful Fairy Tales . The book was printed by Enßlin & Laiblin in Reutlingen in 1925 .
