"Portrait of Otto Mauer", ca. 1947
The progressive priest Otto Mauer (1907–1973), banned from preaching under the Nazi regime, was widely seen as an important patron of avant-garde art mostly in the postwar period. He always sought to establish a relationship between the Catholic church and contemporary art because he saw in it the potential of living one’s faith in a way in keeping with the times.
