Hans Wieland
Edit ProfileEducation
Two years later, he moved to Munich, where he studied first at the private art school of Paul Nauen and then at the Academy of Fine Arts.
Career
He left school shortly before the Matura in 1883, preferring to pursue a career in painting over the school degree. Together with Michael Zeno Diemer (1867 - 1939), he painted a large panoramic painting for the World"s Fair of 1893 in Chicago, and in 1894, he joined the Munich Secession. In 1896/97, he travelled to Spitsbergen to witness the take-off of Salomon Andrée"s balloon expedition to the North Pole.
Wieland specialized on realist paintings of Alpine mountains.
During World War I, Wieland worked as a painter for the Army Museum at Vienna. In 1918, he moved back to Switzerland, first to Schwyz, and then in 1930 to Kriens.
