Wilhelm Kaufmann

Wilhelm Kaufmann was born on May 25, 1895, as the eighth son of Anton Kaufmann and Katharina Kaufmann (née Eigl) in Vienna. He attended the Realgymnasium in Vienna-Ottakring from 1905 to 1909. As he often portrayed his teachers and classmates during lessons, his father, following the advice of the school director, encouraged his artistic education. In 1910, he attended the St. Anna Art School in Vienna. After just one year, at the age of 16, he passed an entrance exam and was accepted into the Imperial and Royal Academy of Fine Arts, where he studied under Rudolf Bacher from 1911 to 1914.
