Paul Flora born 1922 in Glurns, South Tyrol; † 2009 in Innsbruck) is well known for his black ink line drawings.

"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 Tirol, 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. Sachsenmaier: Paul Flora).

"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."
