Wolf Panizza
Wolf Panizza was a German painter. Between 1919 and 1924 he studied drawing at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich with Hermann Groeber and Franz von Stuck. In 1929 he co-founded the group of painters "Die Juryfreie", to which Günther Graßmann also belonged. At the time of the "Third Reich" his art was judged inconsistently. In 1936 he exhibited several works at the propaganda show "The Streets of Adolf Hitler in Art" and in 1937 he was represented with a monumental painting in the German Pavilion at the Paris World Exhibition, for which he received a gold medal. At the same time, two of his works were removed from the Bavarian State Painting Collections and the Nuremberg Municipal Gallery as "degenerate" and destroyed.
