Adolf Ferdinand Schinnerer

Adolf Ferdinand Schinnerer was a graphic artist and illustrator active primarily in the decade spanning 1910 through 1920. His documented body of work focuses heavily on printmaking and contributions to graphic literary journals during the transitional period of the early twentieth century.

The artist’s output represented in collections comprises nine cataloged items, including six contributions to periodicals, two individual prints, and one illustrated book. A significant portion of these works appeared in the German journal Münchner Blätter für Dichtung und Graphik in 1919. Examples of his work published in the periodical include the prints Courtship (Werbung) and Men on Stilts (Stelzenläufer), alongside various untitled plates and headpieces.

Schinnerer's graphic work, such as the print Churchgoers (Kirchgänger), is held in major institutional collections, establishing his legacy in the field of printmaking. The Museum of Modern Art holds works by Schinnerer, documenting his involvement in illustrated publications.
