Richard Mauch (born September 2, 1874, in Weidling, † May 25, 1921 in Dietramszell ) was an Austrian painter and illustrator.[1]
At first Mauch worked primarily as a portrait and genre painter in the conservative style of the Munich School. However, around 1900 he joined the Munich Secession, which paved the way for Art Nouveau. At this time, Mauch's works took on a symbolic, often erotic character. The knight's dream created in 1902 is an example of this tendency.
On April 30, 1904, he became a member of the Vienna Künstlerhaus.[2] In 1909 Mauch moved from Austria to Munich and continued his studies at the Munich Academy. He took part in the exhibitions of the Luitpold group.
Mauch also worked as a graphic artist and illustrator, notably for the prominent weekly magazine ‘Fliegende Blätter’.
His works are in various German and Austrian museums, including the Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus and the Münchner Stadtmuseum.
