Georg Vilhelm Pauli was born on July 2, 1855 in Jonkoping, Sweden.
Pauli studied at the Royal Academy of Arts in Stockholm in 1871-75 and 1878-79, and studied and worked in France and Italy for several years during the 1870s and 1880s.
He studied naturalist in- and outdoor painting, influenced by Bastien-Lepage.
Around 1890, he moved towards a symbolist and synthetist style. Having encountered cubism in Paris in 1911, he apprenticed himself to André Lhote and moved towards a cubist style, which he however abandoned in the 1920s. He had a lifelong interest in classical motifs, mythology and symbolism which was often reflected in his paintings.
Beginning in the 1890s Pauli specialized in monumental paintings, decorating walls in the Gothenburg Museum (the current Göteborg City Museum), the new Stockholm Opera House, the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, and many other public institutions.
He died on November 28, 1935 in Tullinge, Stockholm County.
