A lifelong student and educator, Edmund Kinzinger's career extended across continents, impacting a generation of students around the world. Born in Pforzheim, Baden, Germany, Kinzinger first studied at the Knirr Schule and Staatliche Akademie in Munich and Stuttgart, and later at the Academie Moderne in Paris. Following World War I, he taught in Munich, where he met American artist Alice Fish; the two were married in 1927, and split their time between Europe and the United States. Fleeing the oppression of Nazi Germany, Kinzinger settled in Texas, accepting a post as chairman of the art department at Baylor University in Waco, a position he held until 1948.
