Ivo Saliger (1894-1987)

Ivo Saliger was an Austrian painter known for his academically painted nudes set within idyllic landscapes. Born on October 21, 1886 in Königsberg, Austrian-Silesia (now the Czech Republic), the artist went on to study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna under Rudolf Jettmar. Saliger then began to integrate Neo-Classical techniques and Art Deco stylizations into his work during the 1920s and 1930s. He had a collection that was regularly exhibited at the Great German Art Exhibitions held by the Third Reich. He died on January 14, 1987 in Vienna, Austria.
