UHL Walter

Walter UHL is an Austrian painter, born in 1907 and died in 1990.

A student of Kandinsky at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, Walter UHL discovered the Sahara by entering the foreign legion in order not to become German at the time of the Anschluss.

The desert is one of the recurring themes of his work, as well as the theatre and the passing time.

An independent artist, Walter UHL has created his own style, which is nevertheless similar to the work of artists such as Dali or Chirico.

Claude Richoz, an artistic columnist in the newspaper La Suisse, dedicated to him a beautiful book Walter Uhl or the captured dream, edited by Éditions du Vieux-Chêne and prefaced by Maurice Denuzière. »
