Alfons Walde was born on February 8, 1891 in the Tyrolean village of Oberdorf and spent his childhood in Kitzbühel. In 1910, at the request of his father, he began to study architecture at the Technical University in Vienna, but remained closely associated with the fine arts. Through his friendship with the architect Robert Oerley (1911/12 President of the Vienna Secession) he was able to exhibit in 1913 himself in the Secession and got to know Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele, who significantly influenced his work. After an interruption during the First World War, he already sat in the summer semester 1917/18 before his architectural studies. Returning to Kitzbühel, he devoted himself to the motifs of the Tyrolean landscape and its people. On December 11, 1958, Alfons Walde died of a heart attack in Kitzbühel.
