Kurt Weber* (Weiz 1893 – 1964 Wagna) Town oil on hardboard 39.5 x 77.5 cm on the reverse: estate stamp and inscribed ‘Original from my father, Kurt Weber’; Ronald Weber ESTIMATE €1,000 – €2,000 STARTING PRICE €1,000 Kurt Weber was an Austrian painter and graphic artist. After attending school in Graz and studying at the Altenburg Engineering School in Weimar, Weber moved to Berlin. He was conscripted there as a soldier and returned there after the end of the war. In Berlin, he came into contact with the circle of artists around Herwarth Walden, the influential editor of the magazine *Der Sturm*, in which avant-garde artists were featured and published. In the early 1920s, he went to Munich to study painting and then to Graz, where he studied under Daniel Pauluzzi, Wilhelm Thöny and Alfred Wickenburg. He had been a member of the Graz Secession since 1926. Between 1934 and 1936 he studied in Paris, where he attended the Académie de la Grande Chaumière and met Robert Delaunay and Fernand Léger, who greatly influenced his artistic work. In 1936, Weber travelled to Spain, but returned to Germany via Italy following the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. From 1941 to 1943, he studied stage design at the Vienna Academy. From 1945, he was a lecturer in artistic design at Graz University of Technology. Since his time in Paris, Weber’s early work was strongly influenced by Delaunay’s theory of colour and form, whilst his post-war works can be more closely associated with the Informel style.
