Austrian modernist photographer. One of the leading representatives of artistic photography of his time, whose work became revolutionary in the period of the Great Depression between the two world wars.
Koppitz is also known as one of the pioneers -of vanguard and celebrating the beauty, the perfection of the European man, the cult of the sun and nature.

He returned from the war, where he was also a photographer, periodically shooting nudes. Koppitts felt an unusually subtle harmony between the created image and the surrounding space, movement and manpower.
Nude portraits of Koppitz fascinated his contemporaries as much as today. Pictures created in nature - in the mountains of the Alps, or along the coast - with the help of his wife Anna.

The love of the photographer for nature contributed to his latest series of works that reflects peasant life in Tyrol, which was the culmination of a grand exhibition in 1936, where there were 500 pictures, called "Land und Leute" (Country and People), in which he tried to reflect national life and traditions of its people.
