Albert Heinzinger, born in 1911 in Kempten im Allgäu, Germany, was an artist whose life and work were as compelling as his art. He began his career with an apprenticeship as a chemigrapher before studying graphic arts under Ludwig von Herterich in Munich. Heinzinger's journey as an artist took a more profound turn as he evolved into a painter and woodcutter.
His life was marked by significant challenges and political engagement. Heinzinger was a member of the Socialist Workers' Party and actively participated in resistance activities. This led to his imprisonment as a political prisoner in the Papenburger concentration camp Moor from 1938 to 1941. After his release, he resumed his artistic career in Munich from 1946.
Heinzinger's education continued under Professor Adolf Schinnerer at the Munich Academy from 1946-47. His artistic endeavors were enriched by study trips to various countries, including Italy, Yugoslavia, France, and England. He was a pivotal figure in the post-war art scene in Munich, contributing to the establishment of the "New Realism" art movement and being a founding member of the Association of Visual Artists in Munich.
Albert Heinzinger's artistic legacy is preserved through his works that have been auctioned. His dedication to painting and woodcutting, along with his significant contributions to political art and social commentary, make him an intriguing figure for collectors, auctioneers, and experts in art and antiques. Heinzinger's life story adds an enriching context to his artworks, which are not only visual treats but also historical narratives.

Alfred Kornberger was an Austrian painter and graphic artist. He studied painting with Professor Robin Christian Andersen at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna.
Stylistically, he dealt with the different facets of classical modernism and was inspired by Pablo Picasso's late work as well as by the depictions of surrealist artists. In his early years he devoted himself to various themes from the world of industry as well as topographical depictions. Later he turned almost exclusively to the depiction of the female nude.
Alfred Kornberger's work is part of the great Austrian tradition of body-oriented art, which ranges from Egon Schiele to Alfred Hrdlicka. His central theme, the female nude, is not only a projection of sensual desire but also an expression of psychological states.
