(Life and work with an index of his printed graphics)
His life (26 August 1872 – 13 August 1936)
He was a German painter who was a highly respected Jugendstil artist, during his lifetime.
Unger was a portraitist and a landscape painter but his reputation stems from his paintings, most of them nearly life-size, of 'beautiful women dreaming of Arcadia (utopia) '. In fact, it was always the same woman being portrayed: his muse,
his wife in real-life. Later, his daughter Maja would share her
mothers' privileged position. The background to his 'Arcadian woman'
would quite often be a pastoral landscape with high cypresses, a garden
or a seaside scene.
