  The German-Austrian painter Anton Mahringer is particularly known for his landscape watercolors. Alongside Sebastian Isepp, Anton Kolig and Franz Wiegele, Mahringer is part of the Nötscher circle. He gained his first artistic experiences in painting courses at the goldsmiths' college in Schwäbisch Gmünd. In 1924 he was admitted to the Stuttgart School of Applied Arts. At the same time, he attended the evening act at the Stuttgart Academy in order to prepare for the entrance examination at the academy. A year later he became a student there in the drawing class under Arnold Waldschmidt. On the occasion of a summer excursion by the Academy, Mahringer came to Tyrol for the first time in 1925. At the International Art Exhibition in Dresden in 1926, he was particularly impressed by Max Slevogt and the German Expressionists. An award at the academy enabled Mahringer to travel extensively to Italy. Here he studied the masters of the Quattro and Cinquecento and conducted research on Leonardo da Vinci and Luca Signorelli. In Stuttgart he became the first student in Anton Kolig's painting class. As part of an excursion by Kolig's class, Mahringer visited Nötsch for the first time and met Franz Wiegele there; Mahringer painted his first landscapes. From 1929 Mahringer worked with other Kolig students on the design of the Klagenfurt country house; During this time he met the state curator Otto Demus as well as the writer Max Priker, editor-in-chief Heinz Paller, the art historian Walter Frodl and the poet Andreas Fischer, Mahringer's future wife Regina Peschges and Hans Gassebner. In Rome in 1931 he met François-Albert Viallet and the German painters Werner Gilles and Karl Kluth. This was followed by participation in exhibitions at the Kärntner Kunstverein and the Vienna Secession. Carl Moll is said to have been enthusiastic about Mahringer's contributions. During the Second World War he was a secondary school teacher in Hermagor. He met the painter Anton Steinhart and the art dealer Friedrich Welz. After Wiegele's death in a bomb attack, Mahringer took over Wiegele's studio house in the Kesselwald. After the war, Mahringer, among other things, on the initiative of Vienna City Councilor for Culture Viktor Matejka in the Würthle Gallery. He also received the commission to paint a portrait of Anton Kolig. Mahringer developed a lively international exhibition activity. He painted five landscape paintings for the Austrian Embassy in Ottawa.
