The career of the Austrian landscape and genre painter Arnold Jacob Clementschitsch began painting when he was a small child and drew a man with a dog in a landscape painting by Ludwig Canziani in his parents' house. Clementschitsch attended the Graphische Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt and studied there with Hubert Landa and Erwin Puchinger. He moved to the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, in 1910 to the School of Applied Arts at Stubenring in Vienna and in 1911 to the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. Meetings with Carinthian artists, with Herbert Boeckl in 1924, who significantly stimulated Clementschitsch's nude painting, with the distinguished lyrical landscape painter Felix Esterl in the late twenties, provided the human and artistic ties to the painting of the country. Preferred portraitist of many Carinthian families. In Vienna, he had already attracted attention with his original street paintings at his first collective exhibition in 1920 at the Secession. This was followed by exhibitions in Barcelona (1928), Venice (1932) and Vienna (1953). Along with Wilhelm Thöny, he can be counted as the only Austrian representative of the Blaue Reiter. Awards: 1937 honorary citizen of the city of Villach; 1947 professor title.
