Paula Wimmer

Paula Wimmer is a German painter and printmaker from the Early Expressionist period. In 1927 she became a member of the Dachau Artists' Association and was a member for the rest of her life. She was a member of the Dachau Artists Group and the Munich New Secession. Her vibrant landscapes created a sensation at the time. In the 1920s and 1930s she exhibited with great success in Munich, Rome, Vienna, Berlin, Paris, Stuttgart, Salzburg and other cities. In 1918 she was awarded the Silver State Medal in Salzburg. She worked as a fresco artist in the Church of St. James in Dachau. Paula Wimmer's success ended with the rise to power of the National Socialists, who classified her work as degenerate art. Then she began to write in a naive style, using harmless pictorial subjects. After World War II, her work was featured in exhibitions at the Haus der Kunst in Munich. In terms of importance, Wimmer ranks first among the artists of Dachau. She painted cats a lot. The theme of horses in the circus arena also recurs in her work (including numerous expressionist woodcuts).
