Ludwig Merwart (September 1, 1913 – July 13, 1979) was an influential Austrian painter and printmaker. He is an important representative of the Tachism and was a major force in the graphic arts and prints, especially after World War II. His work is still one of the most important and interesting contributions to graphic art in Austria today.
Merwarts unique technique of iron etching attracted much attention in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. In 1959 he exhibited his work at the documenta 2 in Kassel (Germany) and at the V. Biennale de São Paulo (Brazil), the following year at the International Graphic Biennale in Cincinnati (Ohio) and the Tate Gallery in London (Great Britain). Britain). ).
