Article description

Original screen print. Inscribed bottom right: Design Ulfig.  After studying at the Breslau School of Applied Arts (under Peter Kowalski) and the Academy of Fine Arts from 1928 to 1932, he spent half a year in Italy as a scholarship holder at the Academy of Fine Arts. After his return, the political situation with the seizure of power by the National Socialists prevented Ulfig from establishing himself as an artist, whose early work was based on the then-outlawed Expressionism. Ulfig was forced to work as a sign painter and stage designer at the Breslau City Theater, was stationed in France as a soldier in the Second World War (here he learned to know and appreciate an elegant French-influenced variety of Expressionist art) and finally became a prisoner of war in Bohemia (CSR). Released in 1945, he began his real artistic development in the freedom of what would later become the Federal Republic when he arrived in Regensburg (almost all of his paintings before 1945 have been lost). In 1946 he became a member of the newly founded Donauwaldgruppe artists' association; He had his first gallery exhibitions from 1947 to 1949, and from the early 1950s onwards he enjoyed increasing artistic success, making him probably the most important visual artist in eastern Bavaria in the second half of the 20th century. With study trips to Italy, Greece, Egypt, Ireland, southern France and Holland in the early 1960s, he expanded his artistic themes to include the landscapes of Europe. Numerous solo exhibitions at home and abroad, and membership in the Munich Artists' Cooperative and the Esslingen Artists' Guild are testament to Ulfig's appreciation.  Numbered Piwe No. 5050 at the bottom left. Marked 'Design by W. Ulfig' at the bottom left.
