Fritz Zalisz Art

German, 1893-1971

Fritz Zalisz was a German painter, graphic designer and sculptor, considered one of the most important representatives of German expressionism, studied at the Leipzig Academy with Otto Richard Bossert and Alois Kolb from 1910–15. After the First World War, Zalisz moved to Leipzig where he fit perfectly into the artistic environment. During his study stay in Munich, the first plastic experiments were carried out under the influence of Adolf von Hildebrands. Zalisz met Lenin in a Munich coffee house and drew him. In 1914, Zalisz was a participant in the First World War (among other things as a war painter of the 58th division). In 1918, he continued his studies at the Academy for Graphics and Book Trade in Leipzig. Zalisz’s teachers were Otto Richard Bossert and Alois Kolb for graphic techniques (especially etching and wood engraving) and with Adolf Lehnert for plastic. After further study stays in Berlin, he worked as a freelancer in Leipzig, from where he set out to travel to Holland, Belgium, France and Switzerland. In 1927, Zalisz decided to offer one professorship in Madrid. In 1940, the move to Leipzig-Holzhausen took place. After the Second World War, Zalisz mainly created small and animal sculptures. He also wrote aphorisms and poems.
