The late Prof. Josef Schwarz (17/02/1917 - 25/12/2013) counts as one of the most influential Tyrolean artists of all time.  He was a dedicated, private man who, from 1938, earned his living as a teacher and later as a Headmaster in Telfs, Tirol.  His prolific output ranges from oils through watercolour and graphic works to wood blocks and carvings.  He lived and worked in Telfs from 1946 until his recent passing on Christmas Day 2013.
