Wilhelm Dachauer

[Austria] (b 1881/d 1951)

Wilhelm Dachauer was born on April 5, 1881 into a family of clockmakers. He was intended to continue his fathers business but after some struggle he was allowed to move to Vienna, where he had a time full of privations. He started an apprenticeship as decoration painter and in the nighttime he prepared for the Academy of Applied Arts. In 1899 the seventeen-year-old Wilhelm began his studies under the supervision of professor Griepenkerl.

In 1913 he had his first arguably successful exhibition ...He was appointed to an honored professorship of the  Vienna Academy of Applied Arts in 1928, a position that he occupied until 1944. Temporarily he was even rector of the institution. Wilhelm Dachauer died in Vienna on February 26, 1951.
