Wilhelm Dachauer ( * April 5, 1881 in Ried im Innkreis, Oberösterreich; † February 26, 1951 in Vienna) was an Austrian painter. He studied at the ''Akademie der bildenden Künste'' in Vienna from 1899 to 1907 and was professor from 1928 to 1944 at the same academy. ==Life== Wilhelm Dachauer was born on April 5, 1881 into a family of clockmakers. He was intended to continue his fathers business but after some struggle he was allowed to move to Vienna, where he had a time full of privations. He started an apprenticeship as decoration painter and in the nighttime he prepared for the Academy of Applied Arts. In 1899 the seventeen-year-old Wilhelm began his studies under the supervision of Professor Griepenkerl. In 1913 he had his first arguably successful exhibition at the Secession. He was appointed to an honored professorship of the ''Akademie der bildenden Künste'' (Academy of Applied Arts) in Vienna in 1928, a position that he occupied until 1944. Temporarily he was even rector of the institution. Among his students were Hildegard Joos, Maria Lassnig, Adalbert Pilch, and Peppino Wieternik (1919–1979). He was one of the founders and leaders of the Federation of German Painters, Austrian branch (Bund Deutscher Maler Österreichs), which from 1937 sought to bring together painters with National Socialist sympathies. Wilhelm Dauchauer joined the Nazi party in July 1938. A Committee of Inquiry after the end of World War 2 found him not guilty of serving the Nazis through his work, however he was never reinstated to his post at the Academy of Applied Arts. Wilhelm Dachauer died in Vienna on February 26, 1951. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wilhelm Dachauer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
