Arrigo Wittler was born in 1918 in Heeren-Werve, now a district of Kamen, and studied painting and art history at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. In 1952, he received the "Jung-Westfalen" Art Prize; in the mid-1950s, he moved to Italy and lived for over two decades primarily on the islands of Procida and Ischia. Supplementary studies at Heidelberg University influenced groups of works that dealt with modern natural science and mass society; his work is considered extensive and versatile. He died in 2004 in Worpswede.
