Witness to a (too) short artist's life
Josef Senoner de Roch from Wolkenstein (born 1886) created this wooden sculpture of a vagabond before moving to Vienna, where he attended the Academy of Fine Arts. Senoner had already made wooden toys with his father and later learned to carve wood, amongst other things, at zu Domur workshop. One of the most able sculptors in Gröden, Senoner fell in the First World War.
