Hilde Nöbl

Hilde Nöbl was an Austrian painter. Hilde Nöbl received her first artistic lessons in the years 1920 to 1930 with Max von Esterle and in the painting school of Toni Kirchmayr in Innsbruck and as a guest student in the sculpture class of Hans Pontiller at the Innsbruck State Trade School. 1 In 944/45 and 1951/52 she studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. In 1952 she stayed in Paris on a grant from the French Cultural Institute. She then lived as a freelance artist in Innsbruck. She won prizes in public competitions for artistic wall decorations, including in 1953 for a mosaic in the Innsbruck Medical Clinic. Hilde Nöbl developed her pictorial language to a reduction of form and color, which is determined by clarity and calm. Her works, which include still lifes, landscapes and portraits, are compositions of large, colorful forms bordered by black lines, bordering on abstraction. The colors are limited to a few contrasting tones.
