Leo Sebastian Humer
Leo Sebastian Humer (*18 July 1896 in Brixen; † 30 December 1965 in Bregenz) was an Austrian painter. He worked for over 30 years as an artist; his work can be divided into three sections. Each section is intrinsically bound to the changing locations and the respective living conditions of the artist as well as to the socio-political situation. Whereas in Tyrol/South Tyrol he created above all expressionistic portraits and later on portraits in the style of the “Neue Sachlichkeit” during his time in Germany (1926-1945) he mainly painted monumental frescos on behalf of the National Socialist Regime. After the end of the Second World War he moved to Vorarlberg (1946-1965) where he mostly painted for the Catholic Church. His artistic work stands out for its variety of themes and for the large spectrum of applied artistic techniques.
