Carl Schwalbach studied at the München Art School and the local Academy of Art. He then lived and worked in München as a painter and illustrator for the magazines Jugend and Meggendorfer Blätter. In 1911, he founded the artists’ association “SEMA” together with Max Klee (1879–1940), Max Oppenheimer (1885–1954), Egon Schiele (1890-1918), Edwin Scharff and others. Schwalbach painted life-size nudes and groups of nudes in landscapes in delicate, muted colors. His paintings have been compared to the “magical realism” for their lyrical mood. His exact day of death is unknown, dying sometime between 29 October and 2 November 1983. According to the Official Report, his exhibit Riders in the Morning was an oil painting.
