Augustin Tschinkel (1905, Prague – 1983, Cologne) was a Czech artist active with the Figurative Constructivist art movement.
[1] These they called "social graphics" and Tschinkel became the sole proponent of this artistic form in Czechoslovakia.
[1] In 1929 Augustin followed fellow member Gerd Arntz to Vienna to work for the Gesellschafts- und Wirtschaftsmuseum.
The Gesellschafts- und Wirtschaftsmuseum was suppressed by the Austro-fascists following their defeat of the Schutzbund in the Austrian Civil War in February 1934.
Tschinkel returned to Czechoslovakia and was employed as a graphic consultant for the state publishing house.
