Karl Korab is an Austrian painter and graphic artist who primarily attracted international renown for his landscape scenes and still lifes.
Born in Falkenstein, Lower Austria, in 1937 to a head forester, Korab expressed a desire to be an artist even while he was at school: painting and drawing were an outlet for him. His preferred subjects were landscapes, still lifes and portraits.
He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna between 1957 and 1964, under the direction of Sergius Pauser and Herbert Boeckl. During his training he became acquainted with representatives of the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism (Ernst Fuchs and Anton Lemden), and temporarily took up their way of painting in the style of the Old Masters.
After 1980 Korab moved his permanent place of residence to Sonnberg, where he was able to satisfy his craving for nature and freedom. From this point onwards, the topic of landscapes became ever more important for the artist. In addition, he discovered making collages from various materials, on the one hand, using paper, on the other, using ash, sand, wood, metal and canvas.
Korab has received many awards for his artistic oeuvre, including the Grand Decoration of Honour for Services to the Region of Lower Austria in 2012. His works are now to be found in numerous collections in Austria and abroad.
