Life and Academic Career
Born in Vienna, Austria-Hungary, Josef Plenk was a painter, graphic artist, exlibrist, and university teacher. After studying under Franz Jaschke in Vienna, he attended the Academy of Fine Arts Munich, where he studied under Ludwig von Herterich and Angelo Jank.

Following this, he was appointed to the Werkkunstschule Offenbach, a position he held until the end of March 1945.

He eventually received confirmation that his venia legendi was valid in 1955, after which he was emeritus.
