Walter Schmögner was born in Vienna in 1943 and spent his childhood in Toledo/Spain. After his academic training as a graphic artist in Vienna, he undertook numerous study trips and stays abroad in Germany, France, Switzerland, England, Italy, Spain and North Africa. The year 1963 was the start of a lively exhibition activity since then and since 1977 the artist has also worked as a stage designer. A guest professorship at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences in 1988 was followed by further teaching activities at the International Summer Academy in Salzburg in 1998 and 1999, as well as at the European Journalism Academy in Vienna in 2003. From 2007 to 2019, a weekly comic (COMix by Walter Schmögner) appeared in the Standard. The world in Schmögner’s pictures often seems to be upside down, allowing us to look deep into human souls and abysses. The painter, draftsman, book artist, sculptor and stage designer lives and works in Vienna and southern Burgenland. 1993 – first exhibition in the gallery Welz.
