Wilhelm Dachauer
was initially influenced by the art of the Secession and later developed a form of realism that was strongly dedicated to rural and regional arts. This style fitted well to the "official" taste of the Ständestaat and the National Socialist regime, so his work became somewhat disreputable after 1945.
He was rather unconsciously known to the public by the design of some stamp series than for his other paintings.
In 1926 he was awarded the Thomson medal for the most beautiful stamp in the world for the second stamp Nibelungen set.
After the annexation of Austria to the German Reich and the occupation of Poland he designed several other stamps of the so-called Generalgouvernement and a few of the German Reich.
He also made the designs for several Austrian stamps after World War II, among them the so-called Homecomer series.
He joined the Nazi party but was acquitted later of aiding their cause. He however was dismissed from a prominent position with the Arts academy.
