Helene von Taussig (1879-1942) was an Austrian painter.
von Taussig was born on 10 May 1879 in Vienna, Austria. [1] Born into a prominent Jewish family, she was the fifth of 12 children. [2] In 1910 she traveled with fellow artist Emma Schlangenhausen to Oschwand, Switzerland where they studied painting with Cuno Amiet. From 1911 through 1914 von Taussig studied at the Académie Ranson in Paris. During World War I she served in the Red Cross on the Isonzo front. After the war she settled in the Anif area of Salzburg with Emma Schlangenhausen and Hilde Exner . [1]
In 1923 von Taussig converted to Catholicism. [2] In 1934 she moved into a studio designed by Otto Prossinger . [3]
Because of her Jewish ancestry von Taussig was deported to the Izbica Ghetto in Poland in 1942 where she died in on 21 April 1942. [1] [2]
In 2012 many of her paintings were returned to her heirs by the Salzburg Museum as part of the Federal Act on the Restitution of Artworks from Austrian Federal Museums and Collections. [4] The heirs subsequently sold eleven of the nineteen paintings back to the Salzburg Museum. [5]
von Taussig is memorialized by a stolperstein in Kirchenplatz, Anif, which was installed in 2014. [2]
Her work was included in the 2019 exhibition City Of Women: Female artists in Vienna from 1900 to 1938 at the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere. [6]
Egon Leo Adolf Ludwig Schiele was an Austrian Expressionist painter. His work is noted for its intensity and its raw sexuality, and for the many self-portraits the artist produced, including nude self-portraits. The twisted body shapes and the expressive line that characterize Schiele's paintings and drawings mark the artist as an early exponent of Expressionism. Gustav Klimt, a figurative painter of the early 20th century, was a mentor to Schiele.
The Belvedere is a historic building complex in Vienna, Austria, consisting of two Baroque palaces, the Orangery, and the Palace Stables. The buildings are set in a Baroque park landscape in the third district of the city, on the south-eastern edge of its centre. It houses the Belvedere museum. The grounds are set on a gentle gradient and include decorative tiered fountains and cascades, Baroque sculptures, and majestic wrought iron gates. The Baroque palace complex was built as a summer residence for Prince Eugene of Savoy.
