ARTIST
Maximilian Kahrer (Timisoara 1878 – 1937 Klosterneuburg) studied at the Vienna Academy under Franz Rumpler and Christian Griepenkerl. In 1903, he was already active in the artists’ association Hagenbund, where he was a member from 1905 to 1907. In 1908, his first self-organized exhibition took place in Klosterneuburg Abbey. During this time, Kahrer also became acquainted with Egon Schiele, who made several portrait sketches of Kahrer. Kahrer also exhibited at the Secession exhibition in 1908 and in the Wiener Künstlerhaus from 1920 on.
Kahrer mainly created landscape paintings from the surroundings of Klosterneuburg. Portraits or still lifes are rarer. His paintings are characterized above all by a friendly, lively color palette. Even with excessive use of cool blue and green tones, his motifs never appear cold or repellent but reflect the beauty of nature.
Today, works by Max Kahrer can be found in the Austrian Belvedere Collection and the Wien Museum.
