Description

Friedrich Aduatz* (Pula 1907 – 1994 Voitsberg) Composition mixed media on paper, 23.5 x 25 cm signed Aduatz ESTIMATE € 200 – € 400 STARTING PRICE € 200 Aduatz grew up in Pula, Istria, as the son of a k.u.k. police officer. The Mediterranean atmosphere influenced his artistic style, as he attended an Italian school and was inspired by the ship painters at Pula harbour. At the age of 15, Aduatz moved to Graz to study and work as a teacher whilst taking art classes with Wilhelm Thöny. He became a member of both the Graz Secession and the Vienna Hagenbund in 1934 and exhibited regularly in both cities. However, the Hagenbund was dissolved in 1938, and Aduatz was banned from exhibiting his art, which was labelled ‘degenerate’. He was conscripted into the German army in 1939 and lived in Voitsberg, Styria, with his wife. During the war, Aduatz was stationed in Italy, the Czech Republic and Slovenia. After the war, he resumed exhibiting his art publicly and took part in exhibitions at the Vienna Secession, in Graz, Italy, Germany and South America.
