Artist Biography
Anton Faistauer: A Visionary of Austrian Expressionism
Anton Faistauer (1887-1930) stands as a pivotal figure in Austrian Expressionism, an artistic movement born from the anxieties and upheavsals of the early 20th century. Emerging from humble beginnings – his family farmed near Maishofen – Faistauer initially pursued theological studies before encountering Albert Paris Gütersloh at Bolzano’s gymnasium, sparking a lifelong fascination with painting. This formative encounter propelled him toward formal artistic training, culminating in studies at Vienna’s Robert Scheffer Akademie and subsequently the Academy of Fine Arts under Alois Delug and Christian Griepenkerl. His rejection of the academy's conservative dogma fueled his involvement with “Die Neue Künstlergruppe,” alongside contemporaries like Anton Kolig, Robin Christian Andersen, Franz Wiigle and Egon Schiele. This group vehemently protested against academic conventions, advocating for a radical departure from traditional artistic styles—a stance that profoundly shaped Faistauer’s oeuvre. From 1909 to 1912, he embarked on a journey through Ticino and Berlin, exhibiting his work widely and establishing himself as a prominent voice within the avant-garde scene. The outbreak of World War I dramatically altered Faistauer's trajectory, forcing him back to Maishofen where he reluctantly served in the Austro-Hungarian army due to “unsuitability.” Despite this enforced military duty, he continued his artistic pursuits, collaborating with Schiele on war art exhibitions and contributing to the reorganization of the Heeresgeschichtliches Museum. Following the war’s conclusion, Faistauer resided in Salzburg, where he founded "Der Wassermann" alongside Felix Albrecht Harta and others—another bastion of experimental art. Tragically, his wife died shortly before their inaugural exhibition, and a subsequent marriage proved unsuccessful. Facing debilitating health challenges – lung and stomach disorders – he undertook therapeutic expeditions to Bolzano in 1925. A significant commission arrived in 1926: the fresco cycle for Salzburg’s Neues kleines Festspielhaus—a project that cemented his reputation as a masterful muralist. Subsequent commissions followed at Bamberg Seminary and Vienna's Schloss Widlingau, showcasing Faistauer’s dedication to translating complex ideas into visually arresting artworks. His final years were marked by a tumultuous personal life, including an affair with a mistress, and he ultimately declined a professorship offer at the Academy. Nevertheless, Faistauer’s legacy endures as one of Austria's most influential Expressionist painters—a testament to his unwavering commitment to artistic innovation and his ability to capture the emotional core of his time.
