The Revelries of the Painter Alfons Walde

Alfons Walde (1891-1958) was a notable painter and architect. Initially influenced by Secessionism, he created still lives, landscapes and scenes from rural life. He lived in Kitzbühel in Tyrol, a region which he made internationally famous as a tourist area through his posters of winter landscapes and winter sports motifs. Alfons Walde always dreamed of achieving recognition on the international art market, but was unable to do so. Until now, much less was known about his exciting private life. This is the story of a man, who, despite his industriousness, wished to enjoy his life to the full and ultimately came to grief as a result.
