from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Oswald Kollreider (born January 27, 1922 in St. Oswald , municipality of Kartitsch; † July 19, 2017 in Strassen ) was an Austrian painter .

Life

After completing compulsory schooling, the mountain farmer did an apprenticeship as a painter and house painter in Sillian from 1938 . In 1940 he was  drafted into the Wehrmacht and initially had to do labor service in France. From 1941 he was at the front, at Stalingrad he was seriously wounded and among other things lost two fingers of his right hand. When he returned as an invalid, he passed the entrance examination at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in 1944 . Until the end of his studies due to the bombing of the academy building in 1945, he studied with Carl Fahringer . From 1945 to 1947 he attended the Toni Kirchmayr painting and drawing school in Innsbruck. Then studied again at the Vienna Academy with Sergius Pauser and Herbert Boeckl and graduated in 1951 with a diploma. In 1951/1952 he worked as a pit fitter and pit painter in the Ruhr area , where he first dealt with sgraffito and switched from oil to tempera painting.

Kollreider had his first exhibitions and received his first commissions as early as the late 1940s, and in the early days he was valued as a copyist for Egger Lienz paintings. Thanks to contacts in diplomatic circles, he was able to undertake his first study trip to Turkey as early as 1958/59, which was followed by numerous other trips to Spain, Italy, Israel, Asia and South America. Kollreider had exhibitions in Lienz , Innsbruck , Luxemburg , The Hague and in the Diocesan Museum in Bressanone . From 1960 he lived in Strassen with his sister Theresia, who was also an artist.

Kollreider's works include portraits, in particular from the world of work and the peasant milieu, nudes, landscape and flower pictures, as well as religious motifs in charcoal, watercolor, tempera and oil. In addition, he created numerous works, especially sgraffiti, in public spaces.
