Josef Forster *Stadtamhof 1878–after 1941 no image available Josef Forster was the tenth of a total of 13 children. His father was a master brewer, mentally ill and committed suicide at 54; his father’s brother also suffered from mental illness. Josef Forster was not known as a talented student; he began suffering hallucinations and visions at the age of seven or eight (“man with staring eyes on the bed”). Beginning in 1896, Forster began to suffer from acute hallucinations and heard the “praying of people in outer space”. He began an apprenticeship as a decorator and then began travelling. He came down with tuberculosis in 1898 and displayed what were probably the first signs of "mental illness" while in quarantine. Forster began to paint during this time and copied the works of master artists in German and Austrian museums. Financial necessity drove Forster back to business and he soon opened his own establishment. His psychological condition worsened, beginning in 1916. While fully conscious, he saw figures under his bed and saw fire coming out of his eyes in the mirror. In the Regensburg Clinic, Forster painted portraits of persons, as well as landscapes and symbolic images. He created a kind of “perpetual motion” and devised all sorts of “inventions”. The fate of Josef Forster after 1941 is unknown...
