Life

He attended the Augsburg Art School and from 1935 studied art under Josef Henselmann at the then State School for Applied Arts in Munich .

During the Second World War Mastaller did labor service and from 1939 military service in France, Romania and Hungary. He was taken prisoner by the Soviets , from which he fled in 1945. The Americans put him back into prison, from which he was released that same year. It was only from 1948 onwards that Mastaller was able to continue his artistic activity in Augsburg after several years of interruption due to the war.

Sepp Mastaller was married to Charlotte Kadelburg. He always had his center of life in Augsburg, but a son was born in 1949 in Marburg, Hesse . Several study trips took Sepp Mastaller to many European countries as well as Ceylon , India , Thailand and Cambodia .

In 1957, Sepp Mastaller was a member of the board of the Augsburg artists' association "Die Ecke".
