Rudolf Popper (1873 - 1967) TWO VIEWS OF A CITY

Rudolf Popper came from Vienna, studied at the lithographic institute, and was accepted into the painting class due to his great talent. As an Austrian citizen, he was interned in a monastery in Corsica and, after returning to Vienna, was expelled to Czechoslovakia. He had ancestors of Jewish origin, and the Nazis banned him from all activities and destroyed a large part of his work. He lived and worked mainly in the Ústí region, where some of his landscape studies originate.
