N\u00e9 \u00e0 Ple\u00df, en Haute-Sil\u00e9sie, il passa son enfance \u00e0 Wroclaw, apr\u00e8s la mort pr\u00e9matur\u00e9e de son p\u00e8re en 1876. Il y fr\u00e9quenta le lyc\u00e9e Matthias et commen\u00e7a en 1886 une formation aupr\u00e8s du peintre d\u00e9corateur Georg Heintze. Il a ensuite poursuivi sa formation \u00e0 l’\u00e9cole des arts et m\u00e9tiers de Wroclaw, sous la direction de professeurs tels que Heinrich Irmann, Paul Schobelt et Albrecht Br\u00e4uer. <\/p>\n
En 1894, M\u00fcnzer commen\u00e7a ses \u00e9tudes \u00e0 l’Acad\u00e9mie des Beaux-Arts de Munich, o\u00f9 il re\u00e7ut l’enseignement d’artistes renomm\u00e9s tels que Karl Raupp et Otto Seitz. Pendant son service militaire, il rejoint la classe de peinture de Paul Hoecker, qui s’int\u00e9resse de pr\u00e8s \u00e0 la peinture en plein air. M\u00fcnzer y obtint m\u00eame son propre atelier de ma\u00eetre en 1896. <\/p>\n
En 1898, il fut l’un des deux laur\u00e9ats du premier concours organis\u00e9 par Ludwig Stollwerck pour des projets de tableaux de collection Stollwerck, avec un prix de 1000 marks. A partir de 1899, M\u00fcnzer exposa ses \u0153uvres au Glaspalast de Munich en tant que membre du groupe d’artistes Scholle. Cela l’a \u00e9galement conduit \u00e0 collaborer avec l’hebdomadaire munichois \u00ab\u00a0Jugend\u00a0\u00bb et le magazine satirique \u00ab\u00a0Simplicissimus\u00a0\u00bb. <\/p>\n
Il consolide son d\u00e9veloppement artistique lors d’un s\u00e9jour \u00e0 Paris de 1900 \u00e0 1902. En 1903, il rencontra Marie Therese Dree\u00dfen n\u00e9e von Vestenhof, qu’il \u00e9pousa un an apr\u00e8s un esclandre spectaculaire. Cet esclandre entra\u00eena le divorce de Mme Dree\u00dfens et de son mari. <\/p>\n
En 1909, M\u00fcnzer est devenu responsable d’une classe de peinture \u00e0 l’Acad\u00e9mie des arts de D\u00fcsseldorf, o\u00f9 il a enseign\u00e9 jusqu’en 1932. Durant cette p\u00e9riode, il a \u00e9galement r\u00e9alis\u00e9 des peintures murales et des plafonds pour le gouvernement du district de D\u00fcsseldorf. Pendant la Premi\u00e8re Guerre mondiale, il servit sur le front en tant que peintre de guerre en 1915 et s’engagea comme volontaire en 1917, mais ne fut pas mobilis\u00e9. <\/p>\n
En 1938, la famille M\u00fcnzer s’installe \u00e0 Holzhausen am Ammersee. Les \u0153uvres de M\u00fcnzer ont \u00e9t\u00e9 expos\u00e9es dans plusieurs mus\u00e9es et collections prestigieux, dont la Neue Pinakothek de Munich, le Wallraf-Richartz-Museum de Cologne, le St\u00e4dtische Kunstmuseum de D\u00fcsseldorf et la collection du Kunstverein de B\u00e2le. <\/p>\n
Entre 1938 et 1944, M\u00fcnzer a particip\u00e9 activement aux Grandes expositions d’art allemand initi\u00e9es par les nazis \u00e0 la Maison de l’art allemand de Munich, et a m\u00eame vendu une \u0153uvre \u00e0 Adolf Hitler. En 1950, il a expos\u00e9 trente tableaux \u00e0 la M\u00fcnchner K\u00fcnstlergenossenschaft. M\u00fcnzer a \u00e9t\u00e9 inscrit sur la liste des \u00ab\u00a0Gottbegnadeten\u00a0\u00bb du minist\u00e8re du Reich pour l’\u00e9ducation et la propagande en 1944. <\/p>\n
Le style narratif de M\u00fcnzer s’est manifest\u00e9 dans ses gravures, notamment \u00e0 travers ses illustrations de contes pour la maison d’\u00e9dition Scholz \u00e0 Mayence. Il \u00e9tait \u00e9galement membre de l’Association des artistes allemands. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
