Welcom to the Homepage of Erich Schmid!

Erich Schmid belongs to the great unrecognized Austrian exiled artists. Because of his escape from the Nazis in 1938 his work is mostly forgotten – a fate many emigrated Jewish artist-colleagues met. Until today his paintings appear rarely in exhibitions or on the art market, a fact that stands in marked contrast to the quality of his oeuvre. More than other local painters Schmid seeked the artistic analysis of the urban cityscape, in which he found a projection surface for expressive mental states. Artistic analogies and even friendships with great artists such as Kokoschka and Kubin make him even more outstanding.

Widder Fine Arts has been dealing with Erich Schmid for years and enlarges its collection of Schmid-works permanently.
