Manfred Pahl (1900 - 1994)

Manfred Pahl

Manfred Pahl was a German painter, draftsman, illustrator and graphic artist, a representative of expressive realism.

Pahl studied at the Stuttgart Academy of Fine Arts. In 1925 he illustrated Georg Engelbert Graf's "tale of the Rhine and the people". In 1929 he was one of the founders of the Stuttgart New Secession. In 1938, the Nazi authorities in Germany banned him from working for political reasons, and he even spent some time in a concentration camp in 1944-45.

In addition to painting, Pahl created many graphic works. In the 1980s he established his own private museum in Meinhardt-Geilsbach.
