Auguste L. "Gustl" French (1909 – 2004)[1] was an Austrian-American painter, printmaker and photographer.[2][3] She was born and educated in Vienna, Austria, receiving a doctorate in modern philology from the University of Vienna.[4] While in Europe, she studied with Oskar Kokoschka.[5] She came to the United States in 1944, fleeing the Bombing of Vienna. She taught at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, and moved to California in the mid-1950s with her family.[4][5] There she studied in the California College of Arts and Crafts, Oakland and the Claremont Graduate University's M.F.A. Program.[5]
