Leopold Schmutzler (born March 29, 1864 in Mies , Austrian Empire ; died June 20, 1940 in Munich ) was an Austrian painter.
Life
Schmutzler was the son of a master saddler and innkeeper. From 1880 he studied in Vienna at the Academy of Fine Arts under August Eisenmenger , Christian Griepenkerl and Leopold Carl Müller . On October 21, 1882, he enrolled with Otto Seitz for painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich . He then worked in Munich as a freelance artist and also published in magazines such as Über Land und Meer . Since he was initially economically unsuccessful, he returned to Mies in the meantime, but worked again in Munich from 1895. Schmutzler became a member of the Munich artists' cooperative .
Schmutzler was a sought-after portraitist and painted members of the Bavarian royal family. With his picture of the actress Lili Marberg as Salome , he caused a sensation. He exhibited in 1927 in New York City and in 1929 in Mies.
After the seizure of power by the Nazis in 1933, he adapted itself to the Nazi art scene in Germany. In 1940 his painting Arbeitsmaiden vom Felde, returning home, received an award at the Great German Art Exhibition in the Haus der Kunst and was bought by the government for 7,000 Reichsmarks.
