Today in History: Walter Schnackenberg born in 1880
On this day in 1860, Walter Schnackenberg was born in Bad Lauterburg, Germany. Schnackenberg found his vocation as a draughtsman and painter while still very young. At the age of 19, he went to Munich to attend the school of Heinrich Knirr. He studied under Franz von Stuck at the academy where his talent for drawings and caricatures became apparent. His illustrations were published in the magazines ‘Jugend’ and ‘Simplicissimus’. Schnackenberg took several trips to Paris, where he was particularly interested in the works of Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. In 1908/09 he met Picasso. Walter Schnackenberg established his reputation in the field of printmaking – his frivolous posters for the Deutsches Theater in Munich became legendary. He was also well known for his designs of stage sets and costumes.
