In 1901 and 1902, Franz Zülow attended the Graphische Versuchs- und Lehranstalt, and he enrolled at the Akademie der bildenden Künste/Academy of Fine Art for a short period before continuing his studies at the Viennese Kunstgewerbeschule/College of Applied Art. From an early stage, Zülow experimented intensively with diverse graphic techniques. In 1907, he developed the papercut-stencil printing technique (“Papierschnitt-Schablonendruck“) which he also had patented. From 1908 he was a member of the “Klimt-Gruppe”, a group of artist around Gustav Klimt. In 1909, he moved to Haugsdorf where his mother and his sister lived. In 1912, a scholarship enabled him to go on an extensive study trip around Western Europe. From 1915 to 1919, he served in the military, and he was made a prisoner of war by the Italians. Between 1920 and 1922, Zülow taught at the Schleiss ceramics works in Gmunden. After 1922, he lived alternately in Vienna and in Upper Austria, and he travelled abroad several times. His applied artwork and his illustrative endeavours, which he often carried out for the Wiener Werkstätten, were affected by the decorative verve of the Secession. From the 1920’s, he carried out first oil paintings that, as well as his glue paintings and his water colours, mostly depicted landscapes. In the period between 1928 and 1935 he repeatedly received the Österreichische Staatspreis; the National Socialists, however, imposed a painting ban on him. Zülow was a member of the Viennese Secession from 1933 until 1939 and after 1945, and he was also a member of the Linz artists’ association Maerz. From 1949, he taught at the Kunstgewerbeschule/College of Applied Art in Linz, in 1955 he became president of the Mühlviertler Künstlergilde. During that time, he carried out numerous public commissions for murals and mosaics.
