Walther Gamerith

Walter Gamerith pursued his artistic education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, under the guidance of Karl Sterrer. He completed his studies in 1930 and embarked on a journey throughout Europe. From 1934 onward, he exhibited a range of portraits, nude paintings, and landscapes at the Vienna Künstlerhaus, which recognized his talents and elected him as a member in 1939. His artistic repertoire encompassed not only Parisian and Italian themes but also studies from Attersee and Eggenburg. In 1939, he represented Austria at a show in Berlin, further showcasing his versatility and skill. Five years later, in 1944, a collective exhibition was held at the Künstlerhaus, featuring 46 of his works, a testament to his prolific and diverse output.
