Walter Womacka (22 December 1925 – 18 September 2010) was a German Socialist Realist artist.

His work was pioneering early German Democratic Republic (GDR) aesthetics.

[2] Womacka was the head of the Weißensee Academy of Art Berlin (former German name: Hochschule für Bildende und Angewandte Kunst Berlin-Weißensee), from 1968 until 1988.

[2] In 1962, he created his most famous work, the oil painting "Am Strand", in which his daughter and younger brother were models.

These artworks showing the socialist ideal of "ordinary people" contributing to society are found decorating the buildings of government departments and factories.
