Moritz Bauernfeind (1870 - 1947)
Moritz Bauernfeind
Moritz Bauernfeind was an Austrian painter, graphic artist, illustrator and cartoonist.
Moritz studied at the Academies of Fine Arts in Vienna and Munich, then at the Académie Julian in Paris, early landscapes painted in the style of Impressionism.
Bauernfeind gained fame in the early 20th century as an illustrator of political satire, notably in Meggendorfer's Humorous Notes and Der Flo. Between 1900 and 1905 he published more than 200 satirical drawings in Der Scherer and Simplicissimus, and in 1909 a series in the Illustrirten Zeitung in Leipzig. And color illustrations for fairy tales and legends were eagerly published by juvenile and many other publications. Bauernfeind's fantastic genre images with stylized figures and a touch of burlesque attract with their unusualness and mystery.
