Career
Flora was born in Glurns, South Tyrol. The young artist spent his formative years in Bavaria, Germany. From 1942-1944 Flora studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich under the Norwegian draftsman and painter Olaf Gulbransson, who worked for the political magazine Simplicissimus.
"To many observers of the Austrian and German art scene, Paul Flora appears to have weathered many storms on his stony path to becoming well known for his characteristic black ink line drawings. Living in Tyrol, where it is almost impossible for an artist to earn a living solely by selling his artwork, he was one of the few who had achieved sustained success". (R. H. Sachsenmaier: "Paul Flora". In Sast Report{2013})
He died on 15 May 2009 in Innsbruck and was buried in his hometown Glurns.
