Harald Mante received his early education at the Werkkunstschule Wiesbaden, where he took painting classes from Vincent Weber.
In the following years, leading magazines such as Stern, Twen, Bild der Zeit, and Epoca published his work.
Mante was invited as visiting professor in 1978 from the University of Saskatchewan (Saskatoon, Canada)[1] and in 1989 from the Rochester Institute of Technology and the Parsons School of Design New York City.
In these years, his work revolved around themes like "space and time", "reflections", and "self-shadows" and he published numerous books and journal articles.
[2] In 1988, Harald Mante and Eva Witter started a major art project called "Bildräume (Image spaces) – Diaphane Metamorphosen von Schlössern in Europa" a black-and-white photographic work combining exterior and interior spaces of European castles on multiple exposures.
