Graphic arts

Ernst Balluf studied painting and graphics at the School for Arts and Crafts in Linz, before he worked as a cartoonist and illustrator for several newspapers. His oeuvre contains drawings, lithographs and mainly watercolours.

Balluf creates mainly landscapes and still lifes.

His focus on the substance, on the marrow of a matter and his reduced colour palette leads to a certain degree of abstraction.

Ernst Balluf was a member of the Zülow-Group of the Mühlviertler artist’s guild.
