Josef Scharl

Josef Scharl is a German and American painter, illustrator, and graphic designer.

Scharl trained as a decorative painter at the Munich Art School, where he also gained practical experience in painting restoration. He was wounded in the war, and after returning to Munich, he continued his studies at the Kunstakademie. In the 1920s Josef Scharl joined the artist groups New Munich Secession and Juryfreien, successfully participated in their exhibitions, and later became acquainted with the Impressionists.
