austrian artist
Johanna Leipold
acrylic and oil painting
Johanna Leipold was born in Munich,
Germany on January 4, 1947. After
studying Art Education at Munich and
moving to Austria, she also took art
classes with F.P. Hofbauer.
Johanna Leipold prefers painting
acrylics on canvas and focuses on
expressive
figure
paintings.
She
emphatically employs colors to describe
peoples’ physiognomy and postures.
That way she manages to point with a
satiric undertone to some idiosyncrasies
of the persons portrayed. By isolating
the people from their usual surrounding,
these idiosyncrasies appear to be even
greater.
