Trude ENGELSBERGER was born in Salzburg in 1920. In order to be able to meet her artis­tic need for expres­sion, she began study­ing in Vien­na, but soon returned to Salzburg. She con­tin­ues to paint as an auto­di­dact and devel­ops a very per­son­al style that has dif­fer­ent artis­tic phas­es. Her orig­i­nal­ly bright­ly col­ored pic­tures are lat­er replaced by the pre­oc­cu­pa­tion with col­lages, in which she process­es many found objects. In her melan­choly late work, the fig­ure of the woman plays a deci­sive role. She was a mem­ber of the “Salzburg Group” around Peif­fer Waten­phul, Muth­spiel, Tole­do, Moldovan, Bre­it­er and Hradil, with whom she exhibits her works. Trude Engels­berg­er dies in Salzburg in 1986.
