Josef Gassler was born in Austerlitz in 1893 and studied at the academies of fine art of Breslau and Vienna in the classes of Bacher, Tichy and Delug, respectively. From 1925 to 1927 he lived in Paris, from 1927 to 1947 in Karlsbad and from 1949 in Vienna. He was a member of the Secession from 1928 until 1939 and of Wiener Künstlerhaus after that. Gassler's favoured subjects were still lives, portraits and landscapes. He designed several sceneries for the theater at Karlsbad and accomplished several frescoes in Bohemia and Morovia, respectively. His paintings are on display in nnumerous museums and private collections, e. g. at Österreichische Galerie.
Some of his works that we have here at our gallery were done during his time in Paris and show obvious influences of the painters of the "Ecole de Paris", such as Jules Pascin, George Kars, Ossip Zadkine or Moise Kisling. It was the latter's wont to draw the outlines of the figure with a fine line or scratch it with the back of his brush in the moist canvas, very much like in the case of our nude.
