Artists
- Otto Friedrich
(Győr 1862–1937 Vienna)
Currently on display at OG4
Otto Friedrich (1862–1937) was born in Hungary and studied at the Fine Arts Academies of Vienna and Munich. He was a founding member of the Vienna Secession. In his daytime job, he was a teacher at the Vienna Ladies’ Academy where his best known student was Broncia Koller (1863–1934). An important exponent of Viennese Jugendstil, Otto Friedrich is not as well known today as many of his contemporaries due to the small number of works he left behind. In this painting, an elegantly dressed lady has nestled down on a large sofa. The painter uses various nuances of red, also for her then highly modern coiffure. She is looking out of the picture full of expectation, with an air as if awaiting a pleasant visit.
