Edmund Daniel Kinzinger

Modernist painter, sculptor and teacher Edmund Daniel Kinzinger was born to a minor aristocratic family in Germany in 1888. He studied in Germany and in Paris, France with Leger and Matisse. He fought in World War I with the German Army, suffering shell shock. He subsequently received his Ph.D. degree from the University of Iowa, Iowa City. In 1931-1932, Kinzinger taught at Hans Hofmann's School of Art in Munich, Germany, discussing Hofmann's theories of non-objectivity, that painting should be autonomous, without reference to reality.

He worked in Texas from 1936-1953, living in Waco and chairing the art department at Baylor University. He exhibited at the Houston Museum of Fine Art, in Texas.

His work is in the collection of the Muscarelle Museum of Art of the College of William and Mary, in Williamsburg, Virginia; and the Dallas Museum of Art, Texas.
Edmund Kinzinger died in 1963.
